Really they were
rather disappointing though - and only able to do class b visits even though one
was dry and, according to the best topos I can find (from http://watchizu.gsi.go.jp/ - 1:25000
- and they are even georeferenced on the WGS84 datum!), on a road. There were
absolutely no indications of prefectural boundaries (other than occasional road
signs some distance after the actual borders) - not even road surface
changes.
I did go for the
"low hanging fruit" - these were only a couple of km from each other, not
requiring extensive hiking in the hills or anything.
They are
Ibaraki-Saitama-Tochigi (wet) and Gunma-Saitama-Tochigi (dry). BTW - I
noticed that all Romanji renderings on signs around here use the spelling Gunma
rather than Gumma. No doubt alethiak will come up with the "correct"
abbreviations for these locations.
Pictures will be
posted later as it is time for bed now here in "UTC+ 9 hours"
land.
Cheers
