Today i changed my original plan and decided to have enough of climbing after struggling climbing the Hakka Pass early in the morning. Instead i continues to follow route 103 and eventually on route 7 which will head towards the western coast of Japan. Traffic on route 7 is very heavy but terrain is mostly flat with some short climbs. From Aomori Prefecture now i am entering Akita Prefecture. Plenty of apples and pears selling cheap by the roadside, and for 100 yen a packet of 4 pears and free for another 2 each for pears and apples. In Kita-akita, guess i missed my targeted campsite, and by the time i realized is too far to make a U-turn, so i continued to ride looking for emergency camping. And the bus stop is the next best to spend a night if don't mind the noise from the traffic.
