How quickly nature takes everything back…
From the video it seems that the trains could go to Ochiai with minimal investment in restoring the line (I don't see any fatal destruction), but apparently there were very few passengers there. However, it is unclear why they couldn't make a route at least to Ikutora station, given the importance of this place. 🤔
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
How many days did it take you to do the walk?
Where did you sleep at night?
How about food and water?
