Leaving Nikko at 7am today, I head for the final pass of my journey - Hosoo Pass. Compared to the other passes, this one was more like a hill, at 964m above sea level. Taking national highway #122 through the top of the pass, I leave Nikko City and head for Kiryu City, my stop for the night.
The way to Kiryu was a nice countryside road along the side of the mountains. Very pretty and probably my last chance to cycle on such roads!

My last glimpse of the Japanese countryside
As I rounded this final curve in the road, the urban sprawl of the Kanto Plains greeted me even as I said goodbye to the beautiful Japanese countryside.
