My day started slowly as I woke up at the Michi no eki with thankfully no bear encounters. I used the facilities to just charge some stuff and eat my breakfast. I left at about 8:30. It aa very hot day so I was kind of just taking it one moment at a time. At about 10:30 Steph and I had a call which ended up playing 2 hours as I sat at the Lawson. A guy came up to me and gave me a protein bar and complimented my bike! I was unfortunately allergic to it so I just left it on the table when I left. At 2 I arrived at another roadside station, this one had full on food stands with music going on and a baseball game being played next to it, it was a Saturday after all so it was probably some kind of event. I got some fries before I kept going. But then, I immediately stopped at a convenience store to eat some more. Before I knew it it was 4:30pm and I'd barely cycled that far today. I decided to cycle another 20km to the next little town, but as soon as I started the incline it started raining and a kamoshika startled me. I took it as a sign to stay put, and I went back to the roadside station and just cholled out there. I ended up putting my tent in the bicycle parking lot which had a little roof, as the rain continued through the night.
