Another good day and we started moving rather early at 5.45am as Sherco has complained on the hot weather. We gave away some onions and potatoes as it is too heavy to carry them all,of course without Matsumoto knowing.Heading to Kitakyushu and stopping at Moji for our lunch in Joyfull restaurant again .We did not know,we can't go onto the Shimonoseki Bridge after being told by the toll staff to use the undersea tunnel,Kanmon Tunnel.Amazing !!! To go to the tunnel,we took a lift down and push our bikes across the 780m long tunnel to the other end of Shimonoseki city.There is a nice garden and esplanade where we took some nice pictures of the bridge before we rode along the coast . From the busy route 2,we turn into route 190, we got a little lost here as we had to rely on Sherco smart phone to refer to the google map for direction for our intended stay in another road station in Ube.It was a very tiring ride today and our very 1st century in Japan.

Awesome, the way they plan the city was so detail. A proper way for pedestrian as well as cyclist, so considerate.
