Words-and-Pictures: Ishidatami

Note: This selection of Words-and-Pictures was made on September 14, 2001, as I walked on the Old Tokaido.

This tribute to a rough road was written after the ascent from Odawara to Hakone in Kanagawa Prefecture. These are Stations #9 and 10 respectively (from Tokyo) on the Old Tokaido Highway. You can read about my climb in my Logbook.
