Day 8 - Washizu to Okazaki -

• 6:30

Woke up and checked a rain cloud radar. The rain is hard now, but the radar says that it will stop around 10AM. So I decided to sleep more.

• 8:52

Woke up again and eat breakfast. This hotel serves buffet style, so I eat a lot.

• 9:20

When I sheltered from the rain, I was talked a person and he was kindly to drove me to the next station, Shinshohara.

• 10:22

Started walking from Shinshohara station. The Rain was stopped. I still have pain on my leg, but I feel better by using supporters.

• 11:29

I found a drug store and bought Vantelin and a poultice, because I used the up. I apply a poultice on my shin. It’s amazing, because it relieves my shin pain very well.

• 12:48

I found an interesting shop, Taisyo-Roman-Dining. I want to go, but it locates the other side of the road. I can’t find any crosswalk near hear…

• 14:57

The traffic signal says this point is just 300km away from Tokyo! According to weather forecast, the weather will be cloudy. But sky is clear! Terrible!

• 16:18

There are many fast food shops along this road, but there are no restaurants. Today, I don’t want to eat fast food, so I keep looking for restaurants. But I couldn’t put up with my hunger, I had lunch at a convenience store…
During lunch, I decide today’s destination, Okazaki. The reason why I choose Okazaki is there is a Public Spa near a Manga cafe. The location is perfect, because before I sleep at a Manga café, I can relief pain and recover at the Spa.

• 19:06

Entered Okazaki-City. The scenery around Hon Post Town is beautiful.

• 20:37

I felt shin pain again, so I took a rest at a convenience store. But there were many high school students and they were noisy. I had to finish my rest within 10 min.

• 21:50

Had dinner at Yoshinoya, one of the most famous Gyudon restaurants. It is the first time to go to Yoshinoya during this journey. I’m so thirsty that I drink 6 glasses of water.

• 22:22

Finally, I arrived at the Public Spta, Furo-ya. The spa was great, because there is a laundromat neighbour to it. After taking spas, I did laundry and go to today’s Manga café.

I can enter Nagoya-City tomorrow. It is just over 30km, so it looks easier than today.
