I checked again ANA LAX-NRT June 4 ～ June 24, economy seat, still high 1 ， I got $011. 450 seems far off.

By the way, I checked with JAL at the end of May, when my grandchildren's summer vacation had not started, and I tentatively decided on May 30 to June 13, and found the price of $862 for an AA share flight from LAX-NRT. I searched the same JAL last night and found a return flight that was even cheaper, and chose that one.

#672 Q,

I gave #673 without reading #672. Yes, but you booked through HIS. I haven't accessed the Japanese travel agency sites for the last 10 years because they don't offer lower prices than the direct airline sites. I'll check HIS and other sites for my itinerary as soon as possible. Before the "bombing" became prominent in my Tokyo lodging, I used to stay at the Super Hotel Shinagawa near Keikyu Aomono-Yokocho station. However, after that, the price of accommodation here also went up and up, and other hotels such as Toyoko Inn and APA Hotel, which used to start at around 5,000 yen, were also cheap in their advertisements, but only on the days I wanted to stay there, the price became over 9,000 yen, so I gave up on business hotels. On the pilgrimage, I often stayed at minshuku, which gave one room per person, but when I read the forums dedicated to foreign pilgrims, they preferred to stay in tents, covered rest areas, under the eaves of roadside stations, temple wake halls, zennejuku, and guesthouses for a fee. I started to imitate them and started staying at guesthouses （, hostels ）, and capsule hotels with shared rooms and showers ・ and toilets that cost from about 2,500 yen per night in Tokyo.

Lately, I've been staying only at a hostel in Asakusa or a capsule hotel near Keikyu Kamata station that also has a large bath. In Shikoku, I'm a backpacker myself, so I can get into these accommodations without any resistance at all. I was also born in Edogawa-ku, and the area east of the Yamanote line and along the Sobu ・ Keisei line is my territory. ^^;

Ten years ago, I took the Shinkansen Hikari to Shin-Kobe and then took a bus to JR Tokushima Station because I was using a JR Pass for a round trip to Japan. The next year, I took an express night bus from Tokyo Station to Tokushima and back, thinking that I could save one night's lodging, but I found that I could not sleep well on the bus while it was running, and it cost about 10,000 yen one way.

As I wrote before, I found out that even with airplane flights, if you buy a reservation before 75 days, it costs around 10,000 yen one way and after 1.5 hours you are traveling on the ground inside Shikoku, and it is much easier not to save than to save one night on an overnight bus. As for how to enter Shikoku from Yamaguchi Prefecture, I don't know much about that area, but I think there are two ways: either by ferry to Matsuyama Port or by bus or private car through the "Shimanami Kaido" on the Seto Inland Sea to Imabari City. Both have different characteristics, don't they? If your mother or aunt does not get seasick, you can come to Matsuyama by ferry and immediately enjoy Dogo Onsen and Matsuyama Castle. I don't know much about tourist attractions as I just walk on the pilgrimage. Well, from Kuma Kogen to the flatlands of Matsuyama City, I will walk from Joruri-ji Temple, the 46th temple, to Kokubun-ji Temple, the 60th temple, in Imabari City, for four nights. The Seto Inland Sea is really beautiful when the weather is clear on the way.

My impression of the Seto Inland Sea is


Yosa Buson's haiku "Haru no Umi Hinemosu Notari Notari Kana" or

the peaceful fried cloudbill in the sky.

The Seto Inland Sea is probably the Bride of Seto.

Seto is the evening wave after sunset
