Evonne's Big Ride

Chikako and I did a full day tour of Yamagata. She did the driving, I did the navigating. From all of my biking while I was in Yamagata, I probably know more random mountain roads than most Japanese people.

Tamakon, a Yamagata favorite!

The tiered rice fields in Asahi.

Yeah, that guys beard is all real.

We stopped at a bunch of Michi no Eki's, or road stations. They are basically roadside souvenir shops. Rachel and I would always stop at these when we went out and about.
