In the UK- there are several sites you could contact- probably you've seen them already via Google. I have links to some in my sidebar- Infiltration I think is a big one. Plus the UER website- which I don't much like but seems rather comprehensive. Can- It was worth it yes, since I could bike there and the trip all told was only about 4 hours. A nice bit of exercise.

I've been wondering about looking up some in the UK... How do you go about finding them in Japan? I read you have a book or something? Do you have other sources too? Nice small haikyo there!

Would it have been worthwhile to come all that way just for this one place? Seems to be more like a broken down cabin in the woods than a haikyo. How was it biking up here? Were you offroad at all?

How was it biking up here? Were you offroad at all?

Jason- Yeah I had to hurry through, but actually I wouldn't have taken much longer even if I'd had the time- there just wasn't much to see. It's only the really big haikyos that take a long time. As for kitchen shots, well, it just looked like a messed-up kitchen, not over-grown or anything, just a lot of trash- so not so interesting.

I guess you would have preferred to savor them more? Were they very far away? Why not go back the next or following day or the next time you had more time? No kitchen shots? Or was the kitchen totally stripped bare? It’s too bad you had to rush through this haikyo, and the other one you went to on the same day. I guess you would have preferred to savor them more?
