I have arrived at Numazu. There are buses with huge Aqours banners plastered over them, I assume they go to Uchiura. It feels slightly embarrassing. The Aqours themed cafe by the station opens in about an hour. How do I proceed?

As a step in overcoming my shame I went to the bookstore (you know which one) and bought the Aqours Walker guidebook. I did not buy volume 2, not ready for advanced-level sightseeing yet.
The weather is great, clear sky and light breeze.

The cafe is as expected full of Aqours imagery and merch. The staff is wearing orange hoodies with monochrome logo print on, and red baseball caps. It doesn't feel like they care much about the theme. There are TV's playing ads for concert Blu-rays and the anime series on loop.

I ordered a Yokisoba-meshi and Saint Snow Drink. The Yokisoba-meshi is basically omuraisu mixed with Yokisoba. The drink was sweet, decorated with a snow crystal image surrounded by small pieces of anko.



Going to find the bus down to Uchiura now. change of plans, taking a look at the Animate store by the station first.

They don't care. Just let it bleach in the sun, never replacing it.

Now in a bus, slightly scared but I think it's the right one. It doesn't take Suica so have to use the strange ticketing system for the first time.

Currently taking refuge in the 7-11 in Mito. The little cafe there is closed today, seems to be most Tuesdays and Wednesdays :(
The 7-11 has a customer use toilet, and I definitely also need rehydration by now.

Will try to make contact with other fans.

He probably already did yesterday when he was in Hakodate.

Actually yesterday was an unrelated trip to Enoshima. Hakodate was Saturday. Really, Hakodate as such seemed oblivious to being a power spot.

The dolphin show was pretty cool, will post DSLR photos later when I get back to hotel. Bought a small Uchicchi keychain plushie. Considered a large plushie, but it wouldn't have fit into my luggage.

Final dumb thing I did today was take the slow route to Akihabara fra Uchiura. Remember that episode where Chika spontaneously decides to go to Akiba to confirm her feelings? She'd probably not reasonably be able to afford tickets for Shinkansen or Odoriko trains, so a standard fare it is. (Standard fare from Numazu to Akihabara is slightly over 2000 yen, but I didn't get to check my actual price because of JR pass. Shinkansen fare about doubles it.)

15:55 - bus departs from Mito Sea Paradise
17:05 - local train departs from Numazu, destination Atami
17:37 - rapid service departs from Atami, train on Tokyo-Ueno Line
19:22 - arrival Tokyo, change to Yamanote line
19:27 - arrival Akihabara

So about 3 ½ hours transport with no option of decent seating. But reasonably affordable for a determined student.


Loot:

(Forgot to include the stamp collection booklet in the picture. The most interesting part about that is the collected stamps anyway. Cover has the same illustration as the mini poster at the bottom.)


This is the end of today's live blog. Thank you for keeping up with my shitposting. I will enjoy my Honey-Mikan Noppo bread.

Like to try that Noppo Pan.

Now I gotta go find that friend who was willing to sell me a copy of Awaken the Power for $10 after he failed to ballot for Hakodate. Con season is heating up, so maybe I'll run into him at one.
