0. Today’s photo shows the distance remaining to Tokyo.

1. I have to walk 6.8km at dawn, which I couldn’t walk yesterday. Leave the inn and take the first train at 5:32 to go to Shin-Matsuda Station.

2. When I saw the name of this line, I remembered that when I stayed in Tokyo for 10 months 25 years ago, I took the Odakyu Line and went to Hakone. This time, I considered climbing Hakone over the Izu Peninsula, but ended up walking around towards Kodenba.

3. Mr. Mizuta from Hiroshima liked this climbing course and said he would like to accompany me on this course, but in the end it did not work out.

4. A memorable bench in front of Matsuda Station. I rested on this bench for a while yesterday as well.

5. In front of the station, a woman is praying to a small bronze statue.

6. After reading the guide, I could see that he was a great person.

7. I restarted walking at 5:50am this morning from Matsuda station where I had to stop walking yesterday, with the banner that had been separated with me for a while yesterday.

8. The alleys of Matsuda town,

9. I got out of the alley,

10. It’s a full-fledged uphill heading towards Hadano City.

11. If I want to get to Shibusawa Station by 7 o’clock, I have to walk fast.

12. I come across a person walking alone early in the morning.

13. Walking around with slogans against U.S. military bases in Okinawa draped over his body. He is protesting while marching.

14. Location of Henoko.

15. He is happy when I show him my slogan. Commemorative selfie together.

16.

17. Hadano city area at dawn

18. It was 7:05 when I arrived at Shibusawa Station, the scheduled departure point for today. But no one came out.

19. Now, I will walk about 9 kilometers of the morning’s planned course. The morning destination is a convenience store in Isehara City, as predicted.

20. The total walking distance is a smooth 19 km. Continue walking along Route 246, which will have a great promotional effect.

21.

22. There are 67 kilometers left to Tokyo. Three days away.

23. The traveler’s reflection in the glass window

24. The sidewalks on both sides of the river waterway come into view. The design of the sidewalk flooring is good.

25. I like Hadanoshi’s phrases. This is a phrase that fits perfectly with Kishida and his group (including major media outlets). Compared to the 20,000 yen fine in the text, I want to impose a fine of over 2 trillion yen on them.

26. Isehara City is visible.

27. As soon as I arrived at the intermediate destination,

28. This car comes and stops and the driver introduces himself to me. This is Takahashi-san, who lives in Yamaguchi and is going to Fukushima while promoting the anti-nuclear and anti-nuclear power plant movement.

29. He was moving this way when he heard from Yasuo Kuwano that I would arrive at this point, and he wass happy that he met me like a miracle. He said that the water in the water bottle he is holding in his hand is taken from the sea in front of Kaminoseki. It shows his aspirations well.

30. During my break, I went to the famous Tsurumaki Onsen nearby and rested. After soaking in the bath, I eat a Japanese meal with beer for the first time in a long time.

31. An energetic start again in the afternoon.

32. There are a lot of slow-moving cars, so the publicity effect is great.

33. Thinking while walking.

The words of President Kim Dae-jung, who devoted his entire life to realizing democracy, at his last official appearance, “Don’t vote for a bad party, don’t read bad newspapers, go to rallies, post things on the Internet, or at least stare at the wall and swear. “There’s only so much you can do if you put your mind to it.”

That’s the passage above.

34. Anyone can swear at a wall alone. However, saying your thoughts out loud is both easy and difficult. Sound is an event that goes beyond one’s own domain. The sound bounces back and reaches your ears. not familiar. Therefore, making a sound, even if you are alone, is crossing a boundary. In the first place, it is not easy to cross that boundary and express your thoughts outwardly. It is as difficult as soaking in a hot tub in the cold winter.  . But don’t you dip your feet first, send a signal to your body, and then eventually soak your body? Once you have the experience of cursing bad power out loud at the wall, the next steps are easy. Now you can use text instead of sound. You can express your thoughts. At least you can reply. Then the sea of communication will open. The foundation of democracy lies in communication. The more I chew on President Kim’s wall theory, the more delicious it becomes.

35. I am approaching the Yokohama city border.

Arrived at Honatsuki Station.

36. When I arrived, Kobe comrade Shoichi Akiyoshi was already there and waiting for me.

It’s been a while since I met him. He came at the right time.

I will walk with him tomorrow.
