This is a record for two days, August 28th and 29th.

0. Today’s photo is a Google map that shows the sea fault near the Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant in three dimensions.

1. Breakfast prepared by Takeuchi himself as usual today.

2. He delivers to me the support money raised at the rally and exchange meeting in the city yesterday.

3. Suzuki-san, who lives in this area, will join the march this morning.

5. While crossing the very wide river Tenryu River

7. Commemorative selfie

8.

9. A large rainwater treatment facility has been installed under the school playground.

10. Arrival at morning destination Mikuriya Station.

11. I set off alone in the afternoon.

12. Selfie at the confluence where two rivers meet.

14. It appears to have been built recently, and the design extends solar panels to the eaves. I want to reward them for that.

15. If vine plants are left unattended, they are encroaching on wide sidewalks. The same goes for power. Power is like a living organism that acts as a hormonal agent and has the property of multiplying indefinitely if not properly checked. The root cause of the chaos the world is currently experiencing is: I would like to point out that this is because, although the size of power is increasing due to technological development and increased exchange, an appropriate system of checks and control is not in place.

16. While capital power easily proliferates in an orderly manner through money, it is difficult to establish a maintenance system for the power of the people to keep it in check. In the midst of this chaos, the nuclear power mafia and the civil engineering mafia are easily gaining ground, destroying our only planet earth.

17. Arrival at Aino Station

18. Takeuchi-san, who served a sashimi dinner that evening. We are being robbed of the freedom to taste this sashimi with confidence. We are being deprived of not only safety but also peace of mind.

19. Takeuchi-san’s message. It’s a fun illustration.

20. The next day, the 29th, early in the morning at the upper part of Aino Station.

21. Takeno-san comes out to meet me, gives me encouragement money and shows me various materials.

22. Today, after arriving at Kikugawa Station and finishing the morning schedule, Takeuchi-san will give a tour of the Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant during the daytime break.

25. Arrival at Kikugawa Station.

26.

27. I received a message from Noboru Takeno.

28. I went to Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant in Takeuchi-san’s car.

31. The Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant is currently being reviewed for restart. Like the Fukushima Unit 3 model, it uses MOX fuel mixed with plutonium. MOX is not only dangerous, it is fundamentally misdirected. Dr. Kang Jeong-min’s argument that nuclear reprocessing can only be viewed as the production of raw materials for nuclear weapons production is persuasive. Dr. Kang is a doctoral graduate from the University of Tokyo, studied this issue in the United States, and also served as chairman of the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission in Korea.

“The claim that ‘plutonium recycling’ will solve the nuclear fuel shortage will only bring about a global disaster.”

Furthermore, Professor Kim Hae-chang points out that if Japan’s Rokkashomura reprocessing plant is scheduled to be completed next year, an exponential increase in radioactive emissions is inevitable, so the current discharge of contaminated water is intended to water down the problem.

32. What I noticed while visiting the exhibition hall of Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant is that this area is in an earthquake hazard zone.

33. Accordingly, Takeuchi explained that after the accident in 2011, the nuclear power plant was first shut down during the time of then Prime Minister Kannaoto.

34. Indeed, the appearance of the faults on the sea floor is realistically displayed on Google Maps.

36. For reference, Takeuchi-san has been involved in the movement against the Hamaoka nuclear power plant for nearly 40 years and has written a book on the history of the movement.

37. He also revealed to the media that around 2014, Chubudenryoku, the owner of the Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant, appears to have spent its budget to bribe residents to restart the nuclear power plant.

38. In the afternoon, many comrades from this city saw me off in front of Kikugawa Station.

39. They also provide support money.

40. While walking, I managed to take a commemorative selfie featuring Takeuchi-san (wearing a mask). In the middle is Takeda Hiromitsu, who was introduced by Gwangmi Kim from Aichi Prefecture.

41. Sediment disaster warning area sign

42. I can also see a small wind turbine shaped like a pinwheel.

43. Takeda Hiromitsu walking.

44. The two of us walk over a hill for a long time.

45. Arrival at Kanaya Station. It was one of the hardest afternoon marches in a long time.
