[Date] 04/21/06 [Destination] Shiojiri City, Nagano Prefecture [Distance] 370KM [# Vehicles] 9 [Highlights of trip] 
It was a windy and rainy day. My umbrella nearly broke with the force of the wind as I started out. In minutes a car stopped and offered to take me part way to the next city, but because it continued to rain I asked him instead to take me to a train station. Unfortunately we both misjudged and I got off 3 to 4 kilometers from the station! A friendly gas station attendant saw my plight standing in the rain trying to hitchhike and so he took me to the station. From there I took a train about a 1/3 of the way to Shiojiri. By that time it had stopped raining and so was able to hitchhiked the rest.
