Today, a portal navigation device has arrived. I ordered it to a shop through the Internet. Its price is about 30,000yen. Recently, we have received "teigaku-kyufu-kin"(定額給付金)(in my translation, "subsidy to each family from the government") that totals 64,000yen , so we have decided to buy it.

That's a good invent.
On other matters,I would like to make a route in Japan, for two weeks, only by walking an resting in campings. Bikenglish-san, Do you know a possible route? I was thinking in the Shikoku religious route, but, it would be expensive to arrive in Kansai or Narita, and reach Shikoku. What do you think? Thanks.

Zarte-san,

Thank you for a comment. I think that the Shikoku religious route is very nice for walking. But as you know, it cost several money to move there.

I recommend a plan to use ancient roads named "kaido"(街道) that developed in Edo era. If you walk along a "kaido", you can find a town named "sykuba-machi" that had a group of accommodations. The ancient roads include "toukaido","nakasendo","koushudou".

Some people have web-sites about "kaido" that have present pictures of the roads. For example, here.

I hope that my suggestion will help your plan.

Thanks for your answer; it would be a good option. Besides, I have a year -more or less- to plan my route. Thanks again.
