Day 70: Kagoshima (Kagoshima) – Takachiho (Miyazaki) 246km

We arrived in Kagoshima City quite early (but at the scheduled time), which was disappointing because I wanted to have another bowl of that amazing ramen for breakfast. …

Day 68: Yaese (Okinawa) – Nago (Okinawa) 155km

It was a relaxed Sunday morning, starting the day with pancakes at our friend’s house.  We had a HUGE day ahead of us, so we didn’t waste too…
