| Summary | Though I planned to be Kashiwajima in early September and northern part
of Okinawa Island in early October. I have to get a doctor's note if I go diving in Okinawa. So I gave up to go northern Okinawa and go to Kashiwajima only. Fortunately, chancel charge was just few thousand. |
||
| Itinerary | At first, I planned just to go diving in Kashiwajima. I felt like to vist the Simanto River since I am going to vist Kochi prefecture. I have booked package tour of round trip transport and one night in the Shimanto hotel, because I have coupon. I stayed an annex with the dive center 3 nights. 2 days diving, after that walking around Kashiwajima in the morning. Moving to Shimanto in the afternoon, taking a tour of Shimanto River next day, and coming back home in the afternoon. |

From Shin-Osaka to Okayama by Shinkansenn: Bullet train, like a green car

| Shimanto River |
I have planed I went to the Egawasaki Station by the Shimanto Bus, then I rented a bicycle heading to downstream along the Simanto River and drop off it at the hotel. However I was worried if I was not able to return by the departure time of train, and it seemed harder than I thought to ride a bike on ups and downs road. So I canceled a bike and added on the way back by bus. I was droped off near the hotel on the way to destinaton. |
