2nd trip to Japan this year. I decided to go with the Hokuriku Arch Pass route.
This route starts off from Narita to Tokyo, but instead of going directly to Kyoto/Osaka, you will take the Hokuriku Arch route, which goes to Nagano, Toyama and Kanazawa before reaching the Kansai region.
This was great as I was able to meet some friends that I haven’t seen in a few years.
The Hokuriku Arch Pass, covers Nagano, but nothing else in the area.
With Ogawara-san living in Matsumoto, I paid extra to go that way. Itabashi-san would also meet me in Matsumoto and we would go around.
This trip there was a lot of castle visits. Anytime you visit a Castle or Castle ruins, you can buy a gojoin or castle seal. I also visited some battlegrounds, so there are also seals for those too.
Some cars I came across.
In Koka, I randomly came across an abandoned Leopard.
While I planned to meet up with my Kansai brothers, work schedules would conflict.
Nonetheless, I still went around the areas and took in a lot of Samurai culture.
I went to quite a few different places on this trip. Amanohashidate, Koka, Seki, Sekigahara, and Gujo Hachiman were all highlights.
My family arrived and joined me towards the end of the trip. So we went around. I bought another F31 model, even though I have this one already, I bought a fender kit so I can build a different design.
