I will head to the "Strand campground" on the North Sea coastline.
Zuiderzee then disappeared in the 20th century, because it was separated from Waddenzee (part of the North Sea) by the deadlines large embankment and became IJsselmeer.
The thick line is the current coast, the shoreline.
It is a lock gate named IJmuiden on the side of the North Sea and the water level is kept as high as 40 to 50 cm from the North Sea. There is no water level difference of the present location Oranjesluizen. In other words, there is no water level difference between IJsselmeer and the Noordzeekanaal .
Only pedestrians and bicycles can pass here.
What is Lock?
Equipment for raising and lowering vessels between rivers, canals and waterways with different water levels.
The feature is to be able to change the water level in the fixed lock room (space partitioned from front to back).
... It is a lock gate between IJ bay and IJsselmeer.
In the linked aerial photograph, it is crossing from the top to the bottom.
IJmuiden has one of the largest pumping stations in Europe together with locking facilities and it is an important facility in the control of inland water in the northwestern part of the Netherlands, which drains the water flowing into IJsselmeer (including Markermeer) into the North Sea.
In the Netherlands, it seems that a flood gate is installed in every canal. And the inner water level is set 40 to 50 cm higher than the low water level in the North Sea. So, every canal is also connected to the Rhine. After all it seems that the River Rhine flows and goes through the Waal River in Rotterdam to the North Sea.。

In the case of Japan, if it is so wide, there is no doubt the center line is drawn.
If this is the case, we can walk with confidence and we are OK with a bicycle. we do not want to raise the speed of the car.
Inntel Hotels Amsterdam Zaandam
This hotel was built in 2010, handled by Mr. Wilfried Van Winen, an architect from Delft. This 4-star hotel is in Zaandam, Amsterdam. It features a unique appearance.
The traffic light changed red and the bridge rises.
A woman is carrying a child on a basket. In Japan there is no place to run with cargo bicycle.
Not all are rotating.
Windmills with feathers like meshes are not rotating.
I was running seriously at the right end.
However, the sunlight on the right side was severe. The sunshine was so hot that I could not bear it.
There is no problem for following vehicles, because they overtake on the right side.
It is hot indeed.
Mother is running with two children in the cargo by bicycle.
A girl on skateboard is running together.
When arriving, the manager closed the office and was about to leave.
If my arrival was a bit late, there would have been nobody.
And the gate was tightly closed, I might not have gotten inside.
It is a private kitchen, shower room and toilet.
If it rains, I can go there. There is a barbecue house in the left back.
Camp site price 20 euro.very expensive.
I was tired enough not to ask a discount, go to another campsite, or even think about such a thing, so OK here.
All peoples who use the campground here are enjoying their leisure at the permanent motor house.
It has been probably the first time a tent-only visitor came.
It is probably the first time a only one night stay visitor came.
It is probably the first time a Japanese visitor came.
Campsite manager would have been surprised.
"What kind of person is he?", "How much can I get as a camp fee?"
Surely he would have wondered.
A few days later, he would certainly be thinking, "Was not the camping fee at that time expensive?" i dunno.
As it is. Facility is nice, is not it?
The weather today is sunny Mileage ７２km
