From Anmon Waterfall entrance to Juuniko was unpaved way (called Shirakami line). I had to drive 42km through the road. It was just few days after hard rain and the road condition was not good. After the driving, I found the front spoiler had been removed somewhere in the line. It seemed that my car was caught in the dint made in the road made water of heavy rain. I was speeding a bit so when the car was bounding, the spoiler was damaged.

Tonight I stayed at a log house in Juuniko Refresh Village, where I realized I found seasoning and rice to cook here left home.

The two bad incident made me sad at the night. Went to a nearby onsen to comfort my feeling. Luckily it was a discount day for onsen fee.
