All day rain
Spot where the famous wood print was viewed for the artist's impression.
Perry woodblock print original. Curator would not answer what he thought of Perry visit, a seminal one for Japan.
Heavy rain, soaked throughout. Stopped at a place that serves only unagi. High quality and suitably expensive.
My rain jacket is a three to four hour one, today's seven hour walk was too much for it. Soaked through.
Excellent walk until the last 1.3 km of slippery cobblestones. Would have been easy except for the pouring rain and slippery surface. The road was lovely as was the first but had to concentrate on fitting.
Inn a nice ryokan. Hung up to dry our wet stuff, put newspapers in our wet shoes and were very accommodating. Beautiful building pictured.
Fab dinner including grasshoppers, quite fine, and stewed local boar, home made ice plum wine, among the fine dishes. Everything was local from their garden.
