Cycling Day 38: To Uenoji
I'd been trying to work out what to do today - another part of the Kumano Kodo, cycle over to the highest Japanese waterfall (in the wrong direction), go to the Pacific Coastal Route on the east of the peninsula (the long way to Kyoto, but there might be warm days and beaches...), or ride north-ish through the mountains to get to the Kyoto area more quickly.
I have picked the mountainous route...
