1. Today’s walking map. 22.5km to Hozumi Station

2. Comrades gathered at Sekigahara station early in the morning.

3. Someone gave me a donation this morning as well. Yukihiro Kawauchi.

The Tokugawa side’s victory at Sekigahara marked a turning point in Japanese history for the next 300 years.

In Japan, it seems that this place name is used in the sense that it is the best place to win.

5. The battlefield of Ieyasu Tokugawa, which I came across while walking.

6. This is the place where Ieyasu Tokugawa set up his camp for the first time in this battle.

I would like to take advantage of the momentum he won in this critical moment, stop the release of contaminated water, and carry it out as a watershed in the direction of pulling away from nuclear power.

7. It was a ridiculously hot morning. After walking with Kaname Yanase, we arrived at Arao Station, an unmanned station, around 11:00.

8. Mr. Yanase invited me to rest at his house and treated me to lunch. The young man next to him is his son.

9. For lunch, he ordered an expensive eel dish that was tonic.

10. Many comrades came to see me off when I left in the afternoon.

11. Prior to our departure in the afternoon, a reporter from Gifu Shimbun, a major local newspaper, came to cover the march. I introduced her to a message I sent to an event in Tokyo the other day.

It is unknown whether the interview results will be published in the newspaper.

12. This is an envelope containing donations, with the names of four people, including myself, written in cute handwriting. When I look at it, my energy springs up on its own.

15. Today’s daytime high is 37 degrees. Even after 4pm, the heat is still there.

16. Following Mr. Kaname Yanase, Mr. Hisashi Ito walks.

17. I see a sign for a solar power supply company.

18. Go slow when it’s hot and speed up at dusk when the shade starts to thicken.

27. A great step forward to stop the release of radioactive water.

28. Cross another river.

29. In order to make it in time for dinner, we stopped today’s marching plan leaving 2.3km to Hozumi Station. Let’s start walking again from here tomorrow.

Yanase Kaname
Itou Hisashi
Sumi Tazuko
Kondo Yuriko
Iwata Sumiko
Oka Kumeko
Miho Tanbara

And among those who were not here, there was one person who drove a cheering vehicle.
