It is the rainy season in Japan now, but today's weather is fine.
I cycled around Hakone from Odawara Station.

At Tanna Basin, the rice-transplanting is over, and it is green all over.
Many people who live in Asia, live mainly on rice. The rice is produced in larger quantities than that of wheat in the same area.

The Fire and Thunder Shrine is located on Tanna dislocation (fault) line.
The torii, which had collapsed during the Izu earthquake in 1930, is all that's left of it.
I met this cyclist who folded a Cinelli's classic bicycle at a station.
Cinelli is an Italian bicycle manufacturer that has a long history.

JR-Shikoku is a railway company of the Shikoku island that is the fourth largest in Japan.
They sells a special ticket for birthdays.

For three days of the birth month, we can ride a train without any restriction for 10,000 yen. We can also get on a first-class car.

August is my birth month; I'm planning a trip with the special ticket.

This group is two couples. They are Christian, friends of the same church. They were cycling on the shore road by MTB. This group wears uniform. One man pulled five women. The women were forceful. I guess that women are shellfish divers. They eat and drank barbecued chickens, beer, Sake at the time of break. I got some Sake. Thanks!!

[Packing bicycle] As for the free baggage size of Korean Air Lines, the sum of three sides is 158cm (62 inches). I removed pedals and steering stick to occupy the rule. I protected gear with corrugated cardboard. And I bagged it. In Jeju Airport, my bicycle came out on the belt conveyor. I worried, but there was no damage.

Jeju island is the biggest island of South Korea. There is Mt. Halla, the highest mountain in South Korea. Halla is an old volcano and it's registered with UNESCO's World Heritage.

I went up the slope from the south coast to 1280 meters above sea level by bicycle. From there, I climbed the mountain trail to Wetse Oreum mountain cottage 1700 meters above sea level.

I saw a huge mountaintop dome and lots of parasitic cone volcanoes. There were a magnificent sight.
