Fri Nov 22nd, 2013
I awoke inwards a dense fog. I'm non referring to the province of my mind, but to the thick mist that filled the river valley together with left a coat of wet over my purse together with everything else. The warm glow of the solely streetlamp inwards forepart of the shrine was swallowed upwards past times the fog together with barely visible. Above the layer of mist it was in all probability getting light. I headed off inwards search of a vending machine alongside hot coffee. Visibility extended simply 20 meters. The kickoff department of today's walk would live along the river thus I should live able to navigate it without the reassurance of orienting myself to the landscape.
It was soundless together with dreamlike together with I felt isolated from everything but the route beneath my feet. After an threescore minutes or 2 the fog becomes bright, nigh pure white, though all the same impenetrable, thus I select care of a glimpse of a white disc higher upwards the hills. The Sun is up. I am going to cross the river at about indicate together with thus I bring been counting bridges to abide by the correct one.
According to my map I should bring works life the span past times now, thus laid about to worry that I bring passed it. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 modest kei machine comes along together with I issue my arm to flag it down. The middle-aged adult woman driving stares at me together with thus steps on the accelerator together with speeds away alongside a await of terror on her face. I wouldn't live surprised to bring a police draw machine halt me inwards the adjacent xx minutes. I bring had people telephone the police draw on me earlier for the suspicious activeness of walking patch beingness foreign.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 few minutes afterward a modest alternative upwards comes past times together with the fearless onetime gentleman driving tells me that I bring passed the bridge. I retrace my steps together with cross over the river together with lastly about blueish heaven is visible together with I tin come across the landscape of the broad river valley. As I walk away from the river it becomes completely clear to disclose a cloudless sky.
I piece of job past times a twosome of Tanokami statues. This expanse is famous for them, together with they are a pleasant modify from the to a greater extent than typical Jizo. I teach into Hishikari, the simply town on my route today together with abide by a supermarket to replenish my tummy together with supplies. So far today its all been apartment along the river, but from hither I bring to cross over about higher country.
The route is a narrow, winding, mount lane, alongside rattling footling traffic. After an threescore minutes it gets steeper together with I await downward on a huge expanse of steel roof. Some form of manufactory farm, though non a audio comes from it thus I don't know if its chicken or hog or cow.
Japan, together with especially southern Kyushu raises a lot of meat, but you lot volition nigh never come across whatsoever animals exterior inwards the sunshine. It is nigh all raised indoors. The route levels off together with thus starts a irksome descent together with I teach my kickoff glimpse of the Ebino Valley below alongside the Kirishima Mountains behind. Ten walking days agone I was on the other side of those mountains. I accomplish the valley flooring together with ane time once again walk along the Sendai River.
By belatedly afternoon I accomplish Kyomachi Onsen together with await inwards the repose dorsum streets for my room for the night. I abide by the Yamaga Onsen together with cheque inwards for the night. The twosome running the hot spring, which caters to a greater extent than frequently than non to locals, are sitting inwards their living room alongside the sliding doors opened upwards thus they tin create trouble concern alongside their patrons.
Everybody wants to chat. I suspect I may live the kickoff foreigner they bring had remain here. Everyone is rattling friendly together with when I cite that I am interested inwards seeing the local Tanokami the possessor promptly invites me into his machine together with he drives me a few kilometers out of town where a lot of the Tanokami bring been gathered together inwards ane spot. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 adept terminate to the day, especially when considering that the room I remain inwards this evening is simply 2,200 yen.
