Minor mechanical problems. No worries -- found a Daihatsu truck repair shop and the guy let me use his tools. Continued North along the coast. Nice sights.

And great roads.
Image

Also beautiful beaches here. Actually, many nice beaches everywhere in Shikoku.
Image

Continued North (R55, R11), through Tokushima, over the Naruto bridge, along the West coast of Awajishima (R25, R31).
Image

Then across the Akashi bridge to Kobe.

Good roads and sightseeing all the way. Got totally balled up on the Kobe/Osaka highway system, but was saved by the GPS. On through Kyoto and Biwako, then onto the Chuo Hwy. and back to Tokyo. Long day! 800 km and over 16 hours on the road, including sightseeing and meal stops, plus a few naps. Longish nap at a rest stop near Tokyo, to get the 30% ETC discount for arriving after midnight.
 
 
Anyway, 3000 km in 10 days doesn't qualify me for the Iron Butt, but maybe I can get recognised as a feather butt. It was a great trip and I recommend it to one and all. Great roads, spectacular sightseeing, even (shudder!) a touch of culture.
