Forgot to mention that at the National Museum of Nature and Science we discovered that the monster in the woods of Tohoku was probably a キジバト, or Oriental Turtle Dove. I swear it's call is scarier than the name suggests!
Setting off from Tokyo at 3:30am we made really good time, but as we drove through the mountains to our next camp site we both ended up freezing and tired, especially since we rather stupidly didn't get more than about 30 minutes sleep before setting off. After a few wrong turns and some glimpses of Mount Fuji from the road we got to the mountain pass in Yamanashi prefecture.
