Scratch space
- Shinkansen northwards in the evening after day 3 of comiket
- Aomori or Fukushima first?
- Let's say Aomori first
Akiba -> Ueno -> Miku train to Shin-Aomori -> short jump to Aomori -> Toyoko Inn ftw
- The Miku train is considered a hard requirement, and there's only 3 every day. Looks like:
- 09:36 - arriving at 13:00
- 11:56 - arriving at 15:45
- 18:36 - arriving at 22:10
- Sounds like I have to ditch an entire day, or arrive very late. Very late is okay, so long as Toyoko allows check-in at any time (it looks like they do, as they have special rates for guests checking in after 23:00)
- Current scheduling says I'll have a spare day to burn, if I have roughly a full day at each of Aomori/Mutsu and Fukushima
Mutsu is a local hub for the area
Yagen Valley sounds very pleasant, and if the climate is at all like Aomori city, I can expect it to be about 19-27 degrees, being mid-summer.
Other ideas here: http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Shimokita_Peninsula
Enoshima is a feasible day-trip or overnight: http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Enoshima
- 7-day JR pass is 28,000yen, that more than covers the 18,000yen trip up to Aomori, and the 12,000yen trip back down to Sendai
Towada
Shimokitazawa
Fukushima
- Redline limit is 3.8 uSv (per hour?)
That's a geiger counter, model not discerned: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Minamisoma_Radiation_2011-11.jpg
- Hirono: should be accessible
- Kawauchi: should be accessible, expected to be mostly abandoned
- Iitate: not enough details, may be accessible, considered to be a risk area
- Naraha: abandoned, unclear whether checkpoint still in place
- Minami-Soma: a frontier city on the exclusion perimeter, parts will be accessible. This should be ideal
- Tomioka: abandoned, expected to be off-limits an inaccessible without government authorisation?
- "On March 25, 2013, the nuclear evacuation zone in Tomioka was revised. Japanese authorities decided to set three different zones according to different levels of radiation." Not sure if true, that's not cited and sounds like Minami-Soma.
