For the 9th day walking the Henro, I spent the entire day under an umbrella dodging puddles for a little under 18 miles. My total distance so far is up to 157.9 miles. On my right side was steep mountain peaks, and the left was the coast. Although rainy, it was very beautiful. When we finally got settled in for the evening, I got notification that there was a tsunami warning with a major earthquake in the northern part of Japan. All seems good here, although the better part of my day today was spent thinking about all the efforts and systems in place Japan has put into their sea walls and infrastructure. I didn’t document this well, but you see it everywhere.
Due to Japan’s location in relation to the ring of fire, they have more tsunamis than any other country in the world.
On accommodation here was incredible. Nothing fancy but really lovely people. Definitely a highlight.
The raincoat gets annoying as you start sweating quickly. I’ve decided that I prefer an umbrella and fresh air.
This worm was around 1 foot long.
I wasn’t hungry but this machine was pretty cool. If I see another one, I’ll definitely try it out.
This is my second night in the same accommodation with this guy. He walks some and take the bus some, but heck, he’s 81 and out here on an adventure.
