This is a record for two days, August 30th and August 31st.

0. Today’s photo is of three notebooks containing messages from Korean and Japanese citizens I’ve met during the march. There are people who have been negotiating in advance so that we can safely deliver these to the Japanese Diet on the day of our arrival at the Japanese Diet Building on September 11th.

1. We stood at Kanaya Station early on the morning of the 30th.

2. Looking at the map, I see that the hill we crossed yesterday was 273 meters, and I still feel tired because I crossed that much slope and height yesterday afternoon.

3. Two comrades crossing the wide Oigawa River together.

Sakurai Kazuyoshi

5. Above the narrow Otsutani River.

6. Arrive at Rokugo Station.

7. In the afternoon, with the people who came out to meet us.

8. There are also comrades who support us with drinks in their cars.

9. A gathering was being prepared at Nishi-Yaizu Station to coincide with my arrival.

10. In the Yaizu area, there is also an active movement of comrades opposing the restart of the Hamaoka nuclear power plant.

13. Arrive at Yaizu Station late in the evening. Comrades who walked together,
Magasawa Masumi

Fujimaki Masahiro
Oki Motoyuki

15. The next day, the 31st, we will enter Shizuoka City.

16. There are many comrades who are seeing us off.

18. The current international society is strange. This is different from the Cold War era, when universal values were respected. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, there have been changes in the United States. Compared to the process by which he acquired power, the U.S. president exercises excessive power over the entire world. Its structure resembles that of the Roman Empire.

19. In the past, I thought Trump was a strange president, but in hindsight, the US president itself is a strange position. Now, if Biden leaves, there is a strong possibility that Trump will return.

20. “The sea is the source of life.” In response to my march movement, comrades from Fukushima will launch an action from September 6th to 11th. He will also be promoting the news of my 1,600km march. We will be together in Tokyo on the 11th.

It seems unlikely that even Trump will protect this ocean of life. . Unchecked power is subject to abuse. The United States itself now poses a threat to the global village. Recently, South Korea’s former Minister of Justice, Choo Mi-ae, raised the possibility of Japan becoming a nuclear base state and refuted it as follows:

I would like to introduce that former Minister Choo Mi-ae discovered the ulterior motives behind Japan’s release of nuclear-contaminated water through her own information network and made the following assertion on her Facebook page. (Translation of the above)

According to the report, the United States is currently trying to turn Japan into a potentially nuclear-armed state or a nuclear-base state in order to keep China in check. However, if this is true to some extent, it would be extremely strange. The United States has many ways to keep China in check without guiding Japan in that direction. For Japan to become nuclear-armed, it means that the global village is heading down a path of no return. South Korea now has a temporarily strange person in the president’s seat, and has been pursuing the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula for more than half a century. North Korea’s nuclear possession, which is in conflict with the United States, can only serve as a deterrent to war. However, it would be different if Japan, which possesses vast amounts of plutonium, were to pursue nuclear weapons. South Korea cannot afford not to have nuclear weapons. If that happens, everyone and every country will try to have nuclear weapons. The entire global village is in crisis. For both South Korea and Japan, which have already set up dozens of suicidal nuclear minefields (nuclear power plants) within their borders, installing new nuclear weapons is of little value. As seen at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine, even if attacked with conventional weapons, the two countries would still suffer nuclear damage, so even if they possess nuclear weapons, they cannot have the power to act as a mutual check. It is not only pointless for Japan to force the Rokkashomura, which has repeatedly failed over the past few years, into operation again, and to try to make the reprocessing of plutonium and the discharge of contaminated water an established fact, but it is also a real threat to the global village. will cause a big ripple. At this point, I wonder if there is really a change in the nuclear umbrella policy that the United States has continued. In the unlikely event that the US president has misjudged, this cannot be left unattended. 

22. Not far from Yaizu Station, we come across a coast with this type of terrain.

23. Searching for photos on the Internet, I found a road leading to such a cliff. There is no room for a sidewalk.

24. Travel 6 km safely in a car assisted by a comrade in Shizuoka. The photo shows the sea visible over the train window.

25. Walk again from a safe place to walk.

26. Maruko River with clear water flowing through it.

27. Abekawa Station, originally scheduled to arrive. But we will pass this station and go to Shizuoka station.

28. On the Abe River

29. The view of the mountains in the distance is wonderful.

30. A typical march of the three.

31. Arrive at Shizuoka Station. The comrades who walked with me,
Magasawa Masumi
Oki Motoyuki

31. Evacuation site in front of Shizuoka Station. The evacuation area must be free of underground structures such as gas pipes to avoid the risk of fire during an earthquake.

32. In the afternoon, I held a welcome rally with my comrades in front of Shizuoka Station.

33. I also speaks. The Japanese government has an obligation to ask the will of the people.

34. Mr. Yasuto Takeuchi comes all the way to sing. he wrote the lyrics himself. It’s called Lee Won Young Song.

35.

40.

42. Three notebooks containing messages from Korean and Japanese citizens I’ve met during the march. I will give a title to these notebooks that will last a very long lifespan. There are people who have negotiated in advance to ensure that this document can be delivered safely to the National Diet on September 11th, the day we arrive at the Japanese National Diet Building. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them.

43. It’s already been 80 days since I wrapped these things in this cloth and carried them around.
