0. Photo of the day is a scene where we arrived at Amagasaki Station and held a promotional campaign with our comrades.

1. Citizens gathered at Rokko-michi Station.

2. Today’s march is also a march through downtown. At the end of the afternoon march, we will arrive at Amagasaki City right before Osaka.

4. Ko Higashi Yukari-san, for last 4 days, she treated me wholeheartedly and even guided me throughout the day whenever she was off work. she is very sincere. I asked her for a message.

“The nucleus is poisonous, the nucleus is evil!”

“Don’t dump contaminated water into the sea!”

5. In the morning, walked along the evenly paved National Road No.2. The sidewalk was also wide, so while walking comfortably, I think of the Homeland school program which will be held soon after I return to Korea next month. So, while marching, I also make some phone calls to Korea.

7. Homeland School is a study group that combines travel. As said in the article below, this is what I envisioned after being freed by retirement this year. This is a program that has been promoted since before the start of this walking march. The first event will be held on the 15th of the following month. It’s first theme is “How to re-naturalize the four major rivers?” The topic is how to correct the atrocities committed by former President Lee Myung-bak. All these are so relevant to the issue of radioactively contaminated water.

8. We must correct the wrong actions of politicians. So they won’t repeat the same mistakes. During the candlelight revolution in the fall of 2016, the military gave up trying to maneuver because there was a desperate struggle and success of the people in the 1980s. The historical fact that it was useless to seize power through a military coup supported the candlelight revolution. The same goes for the 4 major rivers. The same mistake will be repeated if those who know the great mistake of capital power do not try to correct it. If the people do not stop the Japanese government’s great misjudgment, such as the contaminated water problem, even greater atrocities can be committed. This is Japan’s crisis right at this point.

9. Before we knew it, we arrived at Nishinomiya Station.

23. Arrived at the train station where Amagasaki City Hall is located and took a commemorative photo.

24. We finally arrived at Amagasaki Station, where many comrades were waiting for us.

25. I am making a remark. Citizens are listening as pass by.

26. My point is similar to what I said last time in Okayama. Like European democracies, the Japanese people should make their own decisions. Violation of international law is a matter of breaking international agreements. Like Miyagi Prefecture, it is important for each region to raise its voice.

27. Commemorative photo.

28. Interestingly enough, there were quite a few people passing by who put money in our march donation box.

29. Kitada-san, who led the afternoon schedule, arranged a guest house in his apartment building as my accommodation. His wife (71) whom I met in his house is a second-generation Korean-Japanese who remarried to him 15 years ago. She welcomed me and treated me wholeheartedly.

30. Panoramic view of Osaka city from his apartment. I can also see JR Osaka Station towards Umeda. I will march there tomorrow.
