残念なことに、私はレンタカーの返却で美瑛を朝6時に離れなければならなかった。帰る途中にほかにも美瑛の名所をいくつか回ったがやはり哲学の木だけは存在感が大きかった。それから札幌のホテルに帰って夕方まで爆睡した。実はその日の前日はコンビニの夜勤をしてそのまま大阪までバスで移動して関西国際空港から新千歳空港まで飛行機に乗って、それから札幌まで電車で移動し、そのまますぐに美瑛まで運転した。ほぼ48時間眠っていなかったが、あの土地から感じた感動でﾎﾃﾙに帰るまで眠さを完全に忘れていた。
Unfortunately, I had to leave Biei at 6 in the morning in order to return a rental car. I went around a few other famous places in Biei while returning, but as expected only the philosophical tree had a large presence. After that, I returned to the hotel in Sapporo and slept until evening. Actually, the day before that I had a night shift at the convenience store and in that state I took the bus until Osaka, took a plane from the Kansai International Airport to the New Chitose Airport, took a train to Sapporo, and like that drove immediately to Biei. I had not slept for about 48 hours, but because of the emotion I felt from that plot of land, I completely forgot my sleepiness until I returned to the hotel.
