Departing from home early in the morning at 3:00 a.m., i drove from R17 to R158 through Karuizawa, Takayama, Fukui, and Tango, Kyoto, all at once. On the way, i visited Mikata-Goko (Five Lakes of Mikata), took a rest at a convenience store and a roadside station, and arrived at the roadside station where i planned to stay at 7:17 p.m. |
