I found that Wiki is the best way to check the stops of "Hikari" and "Sakura" trains. For example, the most frequent "Hikari" is from Tokyo to Okayama, but if you select "Tokyo Station" for departure and "Okayama Station" for arrival, you can use Yahoo Japan's "Route Information", but if you do not enter the name of the stop on the way, only information for "Nozomi" will come up, even if you select "cheapest first" in the "conditions" section.

Then, if you enter "Hamamatsu Station" etc. in the "via" field, examples for "Hikari" and "Sakura" will come up. If the departure time from Tokyo station is 06:00, the first "Hikari" train will depart at 07:03 and arrive at Okayama at 11:17, but if you change to a "Sakura" train at Shin-Osaka, you will arrive at Okayama at 10:51, 26 minutes earlier. It is very fun to devise various travel plans on the monitor, though it is not an empty theory.

Also, it would take exactly one week （ seven days ） to reach the "most "east, west, south and north ends of the Japanese archipelago using the "Japan Rail Road Pass" on a continuous JR line. If you miss the first flight the next morning, your whole plan will be thrown out of the window. Plus, we will be sitting on trains/diesel trains all day ・ for 7 days, so it will be important to take care of our bodies. Ole ・ Dekilda Roka is on my mind.

In the past, I have been to Obama, the setting of the aforementioned NHK morning drama "Chirito Tecchin", and to Wakura Onsen, located on the Noto Peninsula in the northeast of Japan. Wakura Onsen also has a hot spring inn called "Kagaya," which is the best in Japan, and the owner of "Wakura Onsen Jubankan" where we were staying picked us up at the station, but he kept booing us in the car taking us to the inn. In the car that drove us to the ryokan, he was constantly booing me, saying, "That Kagaya is taking advantage of the momentum and monopolizing the springs in this area. I had been listening to him, but when I entered the hot spring at Jubankan, I could not smell any hot spring water at all. I didn't mind that either, but later a young couple in Kansai dialect who came out of the hot spring said, "This hot spring smelled like chalky water, like it was just tap water. Well, if you come to a hot spring resort and the hot spring there is not a hot spring, you may be disappointed. The ryokan should have a function to at least remove the unique smell of tap water from the water heater.

Chalky is calcium hypochlorite, that thin white calcium that remains when tap water dries.

The smell was of chlorine used for sterilization.


It would be disappointing to smell chlorine from a hot spring at a spa resort.


I have a slightly less sensitive sense of taste and smell.

I have traveled to Japan with JR "Japan Rail Road Pass" not only to Tohoku/Hokkaido and Urahama, but also to Shikoku to see how the walking pilgrimage was like, and this time my wife and I went there.

This was right after the outbreak of a bad cold that was about to become a pandemic from Hong Kong, and the first time the cold was brought to Japan was via Singapore Airlines, so I caught a mild cold when I flew to Japan on the same SQ flight, but I was not too worried about it. I started walking from the first temple, Reizan-ji, but I was not feeling well and started to feel dizzy at around 11:00 a.m. The cause was just jet lag and the heat in July, but I was not feeling well at all and decided to call a cab to the nearby station and rest at a nearby inn. The next day, I took the Kotoku Line to Takamatsu, and from Takamatsu, I took the Seto-ohashi Bridge and returned to Tokyo via Okayama.

The last time a new virus was feared to become a pandemic in Japan, it was contained in less than a year, wasn't it?

"The status of the new influenza A/H1N1 subtype belonging to the H1N1 subtype that was confirmed to have occurred in 2009 in Japan"

This time, however, it has not subsided even after more than two years. There are various little movements, but still foreign tourists, as we in Japan call them, are not allowed to enter Japan. We cannot stop hoping that the port will be fully opened next spring.
