Shikoku deep in Japan


140 pm arrival in Shikoku, deep area of Japan.
Nankai Ferry ride then 1.5 hour drive to next spot to find more amasans. 
The one lane road is like driving to Hana, Maui. Toda-san drives us thru the winding roads.
Then we arrive in the town of Abu, where many amasans reside. This is the heart of amasan with over 100 of them here. Toda-san takes out his drone and gets some awesome footage.
Local fisherman are in awe of this spaceship videoing them.  The man on the right is 87 years old and was an amasan for 60 years.
We check into a small minshuku where an amasan owns. She cooks a fabulous abalone and sazae dinner. Tomorrow we plan to film her and her husband for a three and a half hour dive. I'm super excited to see what happens.
