It only costs 15 EUR in Berlin and I had set the +soft goal of driving in Japan at least once.</p> +<aside class="notice"> +The international Drivers License, as it will turn out later, was +entirely unnecessary for me. +</aside> +<p>For my first destination I chose <a +href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikk%C5%8D">Nikkō</a>, another +common day trip destination from Tokyo that I had not done and +conveniently located along the Tōhoku Shinkansen line. My plan was to +take the train to Utsunomiya, rent a car from there and continue towards +Nikkō, with the eventual goal being a hotel at the shores of <a +href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Ch%C5%ABzenji">Chuzenji-ko</a>.</p> +<p>So I start the day nice and early on one of the first trains out of +Ueno terminal. It’s another grey morning in Tokyo with the weather +forecast promising sunshine for the next day at least. When I arrive in +Utsunomiya though, none of that is in sight at all. Quite on the +contrary it is pouring down as I leave the station building. Luckily I +have my umbrella from the last trip with me, so I quickly orient myself +and find the tiny Toyota Rent-A-Car office not far from the station.</p> +<p>At this point my biggest fear is the interaction with the staff +there. I am very much aware that I don’t speak enough Japanese<a +href="#fn1" class="footnote-ref" id="fnref1" +role="doc-noteref"><sup>1</sup></a> and they won’t be super competent in +English<a href="#fn2" class="footnote-ref" id="fnref2" +role="doc-noteref"><sup>2</sup></a> for us to be much of any help to +each other, should there be issues with my reservation or documents.</p> +<p>So I enter the store and approach the woman at the counter with my +phone in hand to show her the reservation code. I was not aware at the +time, that Toyota also has a version of their website in English, but +because I booked through the local version the emails I received were +all in Japanese as well. She confirms my booking through her computer +and asks me for my passport and license, so I confidently give her +those, including the International license. I know immediately that +something is wrong. Her expression of confusion when she sees the +admittedly pretty retro looking license says it all: This won’t do.</p> +<p>She goes to the back and after some back and forth she returns with +another woman, who I interpret to be her superior. She asks if I have a +translation of my drivers license into Japanese. Now it is my turn to be +confused. I simply point at the International license she is still +holding, but am well aware that it isn’t a <em>Japanese</em> translation +at all.</p> +<p>So rather than a car, I only receive a polite “sorry” and have my +booking fee refunded to me. I come back out into the rain with no idea +how to even get to my hotel later and if it even makes sense to go at +all.</p> +<p>I reconvene to the station Starbucks to do some research on what +acutally went wrong. I figure out that some countries (among them +Germany) don’t actually need anything more than a translation of the +local drivers license into Japanese issued by the JAF<a href="#fn3" +class="footnote-ref" id="fnref3" role="doc-noteref"><sup>3</sup></a>. +This costs ¥4000 and takes up to 2 weeks (according to their website). +So there is no way I can work this out today.</p> +<aside class="notice"> +<p> +I applied to receive a translation on the same day while sitting at that +Starbucks and received the notification the next week. It seems that 2 +weeks is quite a conservative estimate. +</p> +<p> +One curious detail is that you don’t receive a PDF, but instead a button +to issue 7ELEVEN “Net Print Service” codes (that are one-time use only), +which you then take to a convenience store and print out on their +printer. +<p> +</aside> +<p>Now that I am dependend on public transport my schedule is a lot more +constricting. The hotel I booked is served by a bus that runs every +hour, though only until 1800. This means I have to be careful how I +spend time around today’s destination: <a +href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrines_and_Temples_of_Nikk%C5%8D">Tōshō-gū +et al</a></p> +<h2 id="exploring-nikkō">exploring nikkō</h2> +<h2 id="hotel">hotel</h2> +<p>The bus ride to the hotel is a little event in itself. From the main +tourist area around the temple grounds there is quite the elevation +difference to Lake Chuzenji. The narrow road winds itself up into the +mountains as fog envelops the bus. I sit right at the front next to the +driver and am baffled by how much we block the road when taking the +serpentine turns, I dont’ think oncoming traffic (once they even see us +coming) would have anywhere to go.</p> +<p>Up on the lake plateau the fog lifts and I get another sunset over +the water this time. If the bus was already empty when I got on, when I +reach my stop I am the only passenger left. The hotel bus stop consists +of just a sign next to road and a driveway up into the hills.</p> +<p>Since I spent all day sight-seeing I had not had dinner, the first +thing I do after getting into the room was checking out my options for +food. The hotel has a menu, so I order Gyu-don<a href="#fn4" +class="footnote-ref" id="fnref4" role="doc-noteref"><sup>4</sup></a>, +which is supposed to be delivered right into my room.</p> +<p>While waiting for the food, I get changed into hotel attire. I really +like that this is a thing. You really feel like changing pace when +getting out of your own clothes.</p> +<p>Since this is an Onsen hotel, the thing to do after dinner is +obviously the bath. I always like to go late, this is less effective +when going to Sentō in the city, because lots of poeple seem to go after +work or going out, but here it really makes a difference. I have the +place for myself (at least for a bit).</p> +<p>The indoor bath has a huge window out to the forrest but since it’s +dark and the room is lit up, that is not really useful.</p> +<p>There isn’t really much to do and I have a long day ahead of me +tomorrow, so I decide to just go to bed early.</p> +<p>After getting up, there is obviously breakfast first. The room fee +includes a full course Japanese breakfast, so rice and various side +dishes </p> +<p>At this point I still don’t know how to get to my planned destination +for today, the Senjogahara wet lands, 10km from the hotel. </p> +<p>The other problem I am faced with is how to make it back to the +station in time for the train back to Utsunomiya and eventually Tokyo. +At the front desk I get told that the hotel provides a free bus back to +Nikko at 11:00, but that is not helpful, since I have already seen the +sights around there and want to explore the area in the exact opposite +direction. After some research online I find that the same bus I came +with yesterday goes aroud in a loop. So I decide to take off on foot for +now and catch it on the trip back to the station later that day.</p> +<h2 id="trails">trails</h2> +<p>So I begin walking at the lake shore alongside the road, follwing the +sign for the Lake Chuzenji Nature Trail. There are some larger +information boards that tell the histories of a small memorial garden +and the lake house. It doesn’t take very long before I reach +Shobugahama, where I start following the path towards <a +href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ry%C5%ABzu_Falls">Ryuzu Falls</a>. +The waterfall is on the way to where I want to make it today, so I put +off my plan to find a bus stop that could take me to <a +href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senj%C5%8Dgahara">Senjōgahara +Marshland</a>, and check them out first. I just follow the marked trail +which takes me up the hill next to the falls and into a web of paths +through a wooded area tracing the Yu river.</p> +<p>At this point my plan has shifted to walking all the way up to the +entrance of the wetlands walking trail, exploring there and then finding +a bus stop to take me back to Nikkō. The weather is great and it +surprises me how accessible the trails around here are. Although after +some kilometers I encounter a gate into the Senjōgahara park area, which +is apparently fenced off to keep deer <em>in</em>. I wouldn’t mind deer, +but the entrance is also plastered with signs warning the inclined hiker +of bears!</p> +<p>Once I arrive at the Senjōgahara Plateau Nature Trail, a raised +wooden walkway straddling the open grassland, I start my GoPro and put +in my OKM II microphones. <a href="#fn5" class="footnote-ref" +id="fnref5" role="doc-noteref"><sup>5</sup></a></p> +<section id="footnotes" class="footnotes footnotes-end-of-document" +role="doc-endnotes"> +<hr /> +<ol> +<li id="fn1"><p>hardly any tbh<a href="#fnref1" class="footnote-back" +role="doc-backlink">↩︎</a></p></li> +<li id="fn2"><p>unless you are lucky, which I will be today<a +href="#fnref2" class="footnote-back" role="doc-backlink">↩︎</a></p></li> +<li id="fn3"><p><a +href="https://english.jaf.or.jp/driving-in-japan/drive-in-japan/about-dltas" +title="wikilink">https://english.jaf.or.jp/driving-in-japan/drive-in-japan/about-dltas</a><a +href="#fnref3" class="footnote-back" role="doc-backlink">↩︎</a></p></li> +<li id="fn4"><p>a rice bowl topped with braised beef<a href="#fnref4" +class="footnote-back" role="doc-backlink">↩︎</a></p></li> +<li id="fn5"><p>prior to leaving for Japan, I started experimenting with +binaural audio recording as a way to capture memories.
