For starters, the book (copyright 1992) states the Komiya Station (\u5c0f\u5bae\u99c5) has only one exit. Sometime in the past 18 years, a second exit was added to the station, and, of course, that happened to be the one I took which left me instantly lost for the first of a dozen or more times during the day.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, I found myself in the neighborhood pictured in today&#8217;s entry. Parts of this neighborhood didn&#8217;t exist in 1992 (although much of the above photo probably did), but this area is along the route of the suggested hike.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/19110105.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/19110105-800x498.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"japanese elementary school kids watch fire fighting display\" width=\"800\" height=\"498\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/19110105-800x498.jpg 800w, https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/19110105-250x155.jpg 250w, https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/19110105.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There is now a firefighter training center near the Tama River (\u591a\u6469\u5ddd), and a group of kids were on a field trip to watch the action.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/19110706trim.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/19110706trim-664x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"modern japanese single family residence komiya tama river\" width=\"664\" height=\"800\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/19110706trim-664x800.jpg 664w, https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/19110706trim-207x250.jpg 207w, https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/19110706trim.jpg 748w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 664px) 100vw, 664px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Did I mention the weather was lovely?
