Diary
 I lost the way in searching "Muro no Yashima". And I was disappointed in it, eather.
I ran along Reiheishi Road (Route 352) to Imaichi. In spite of Gentle up road, rain 2km before and hot weather, I reached Toshogu Shrine at 16:05 (25 minutes before gate closing).
I flied to Yaita in the thunder.
I ride JR train and went to Utsunomiya to visit "Jiyugaoka", but it was closed. I missed it.
Tomorrow is the way to Nasu!
