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
