Today overall was much better than expected. Left a bit later than normal after a breakfast of ‘bread’ and coffee.

Cycled for a bit stopped at Aeon a massive supermarket in a mall. Had lunch outside in the car park. Released that we hadn’t come very far and that it was 11:30.

Cycling through the town wasn’t as bad as we thought it would be and the rest of the days cycling was pretty good on quite roads. Stopped at another supermarket for dinner food soup with noodles and vegetables. The 3 climbs were okay as well.

Cycled through a few fields with what looked like hedges growing in them. Google told us it was tea. They have fans above them to circulate the air and stop the frost looks pretty weird.

This campsite is pretty good. The main building is closed on Monday but you can register online and the toilet is still open.

There is a shelter with fire places this is where we cooked dinner and had a fire which sort of worked bug got quite smoky luckily noone else is here but there does seem to be another tent. This campsite is free as well. I don’t really understand why campsites in Japan. Are free but good for us.

This campsite is really close to Shibushi Oil Stockpile Site. More info on Wikipedia but it holds lots of oil and forms part of Japan oil reserve.
