this morning i woke up just before nine a.m. to take the garbage out, and i thought to myself, "im gonna go on a bike ride". so, i hopped on my bike and went south. i thought, "oh, ill just go to takahata eki (about 8km), you know, to see how long it takes". and i did. but then i decided to follow the bike route into takahata (anouther 6km), and then thought, "what the fuck, im going to lake biruzawa" (yet another 7km), and from lake biruzawa to my house, about 6km. so, that's nothing, just a 27km bike ride. on a hot summer's morning. in two and a half hours. good stuff.
this is a map of the route i took, downloaded and altered from
here.
takahata eki. my first major stop.
old takahata eki. the bike trail follows the old train line.
akutsu hachiman shrine. takahata.
lake biruzawa. today was incredibly beautiful.
the view towards akayu from the mountain at lake biruzawa. i biked down the switchbacks on the mountain. it was so nice and cool. and fast. super fast!

Good shot of the shrine.
the photo of the lake is fabulous.
are you able to swim in it? (ie pollution, muck, etc?)
