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?
