[Okayama] Irresistible for B'z lovers ✨ pilgrimage to sacred places
The Holy Land of B'z
I went to Tsuyama City, Okayama Prefecture 🥹
The town where vocalist Hiroshi Inaba was born and raised
Stations, retro signs, and elegant shrines
And the Japanese confectionery shop run by my brother
Dorayaki was really delicious 😍
And the main purpose is
Inaba Cosmetics Store
Here you can buy Inaba-san's favorite cosmetics and perfumes, but the perfume I was interested in sold out in just one 😭
and what impressed me most of all
Meeting my 89-year-old mother
Recently, there are days when I can't go to the store due to my physical condition
It seems that there are many
I was lucky enough to meet you on this day
Look at my daughter.
"You're really cute. You'll be great in the future."
I was moved and crying
While holding hands
"There will surely be better things from now on."
They called out to me, "
Really warm and nice person
"Inaba-san was raised by such a kind mother."
And I truly felt
Actually, I love B'z because of my sister's influence since I was little
I went to a lot of live shows
For some reason, I have had a strange relationship with Mr. Inaba since long ago...
Next to my middle school classmate's parents' house
there was a dormitory where inabasan lived in college
Across from my high school classmate's house
there was a soba shop where inabasan lodged
When I was a teenager, I worked part-time in Motomachi, Yokohama.
The bakery where I worked in college.
I was working close by.
It might be a coincidence, but
i'm kind of happy with this kind of relationship 🥹

I told you with gratitude 🥰
津山市はB’zのボーカル稲葉浩志さんの生まれ育った町としてファンにはまさに聖地です。私自身もB’zの大ファンとして、ここを訪れて初めて地元の温かさを肌で感じました。特に稲葉化粧品店は、稲葉さんが愛用した化粧品や香水が買えることで知られており、香水が残りわずかという人気ぶりを実感しました。 聖地巡礼と聞くと、ただ場所を訪れるだけと思われがちですが、津山では駅のレトロな雰囲気や歴史を感じる八幡神社、稲葉さんのご家族が営む和菓子店のどら焼きなど、五感で楽しめるスポットが多いです。どら焼きの素朴で優しい甘さは旅の疲れを癒してくれました。 さらに、稲葉さんの89歳のお母様に偶然お会いできたことは、この巡礼のハイライトでした。お母様からの優しい言葉に心が温まり、稲葉さんの人柄の一端を垣間見た気持ちになりました。お店の撮影ルールなどマナーもしっかり守りながら訪れることで、より深くその場の魅力を味わえます。 私は津山巡りの中で、稲葉さんとの不思議な縁も感じました。かつて彼が住んでいた学生寮や下宿先の隣近所に知人がいたこと、自分が働いていた場所の近くで稲葉さんも働いていたことなど、多くの偶然が重なりました。こうした縁がファンとしての旅をより特別なものにしてくれるのだと実感しています。 岡山津山はB’zファンだけでなく、歴史や下町情緒を感じたい旅行者にもおすすめです。次回の聖地巡礼の参考に、またはのんびりした街歩きを楽しみたい方も、ぜひ訪れてみてください。自分だけの思い出がきっと増えるはずです。
