Iwata

In the next stage from Chury to Iwata, and in the region of Shizuoka, I returned to enjoy a spectacular view of the mountains and the coast, which would follow me up on my journey to Tokyo. Here the cities and towns are no longer nice due to the industrialization and the building are ugly from WW2 onwards, as in many other parts of Europe. That said the low mountain, soft pedaling and the Pacific Coast are beautiful and will leave great memories. This stage is about 105 km long. I got to take some beautiful pictures of the sea, in Iwata, another city square with a park as big as the city itself, that is prepared for every kind of sporting activity it is overflowing with soft grass, where I slept like a log.
