After checking out of the hotel we take the shuttle back to the airport and take our rental car and start our “Grand” tour of Japan. Our first stop is at the Boso Fudoki No Oka Museum close by to Narita. Actually we do not enter the museum but what we are interested in are the old burial tombs (kofungun) nearby.
First we buy a very welcome cold drink from the drink machine though and then we make the very short hike from the parking lot to the burial mound nearby. The tomb cannot be entered but we get as close as we can and walk around bit before going back to the car and moving on.
The driving on the county road is slow going so we are happy when we enter the toll road and we can start driving a bit faster. Of course when we exit we find out how much it costs, and it ain’t cheap, but overall it is worth it for the time advantage it gives us so we can visit more things in the limited time we have.
