Shikoku & Tokaido Bike Trip -- Day 9

Since I knew that fact that the man I met the previous day came from Tokyo to Nagoya in one day, I revised a plan from spending three days (staying in Hamamatsu and Mishima), to two days (just staying in Shizuoka) to Tokyo. It would be possible if I bike 200km per day. Coming back to ordinary Tokaido, my trip purpose had changed from sightseeing to just a challenge.

Despite my decision, I visited Okazaki castle and Tokugawa Ieyasu museum. I spent more than an hour to repair my flat tire and buy a new spare tire in Hamamatsu. Taking a lot of detours was also time consuming. It was already dark when I was passing Sayo-no-Nakayama (佐夜の中山) pass. I couldn't see famous Ooi river (大井川) well. It might be better to travel more slowly like my original plan.

While Kobe, Kyoto, Nagoya have cheap guesthouses, Shizuoka city doesn't. I had to stay at an expensive but not not good quality accommodation.
