A loaded cargo bike parked in a narrow paved pathway, with a steep stonework embankment on its right. The entrance to a tunnel under the embankment is to the right, and there is a sign to the left of the path with arrows indicating destinations Sanage (猿投) straight on, and Asuke (足助) and Chikaraishi (力石) to the right through the tunnel.
A loaded cargo bike parked on a forest floor, with traffic cones behind supporting a plastic rail on which is hung a sign reading: “No Through Road/Due to destruction of the road, vehicles cannot pass” (通行止・道路崩壊の為車両の通行はできません).
A loaded cargo bicycle parked at a bridge over an earthen canal with trees and dried grass on the banks. A sign on a guardrail behind the bike is partly obscured by black spray paint over the school name, but seems to read “Miyoshi North District County Elementary School/Gathering Point/Departure Time 7:40” (三好町立北部小学校・集合場所・出発時間７時４０分). Not sure what the reason for the splotch of black paint is, but the sign must be at least 13 years old, since Miyoshi County became Miyoshi City in 2010.
A loaded cargo bike is parked on a paved path lying alongside a busy two-lane road with trucks moving in both directions. A guard rail separates the path from the road, but scarcely noticeable is an opening to enter a narrower path on the road side of the guard rail, separated from traffic by a low concrete curb.
A narrow path with a guard rail to the left and a low concrete curb to the right lies next to a trafficked road stretching upward toward a bridge crossing. A sign indicates this is Route 134, and a yellow sign below tersely marks this as “walking path” 歩行
A narrow paved walkway lying to the left of two lanes of traffic stretches into the distance. To the right of the carriageway stand a series of boxes, each two stories in height, which are (I think) control towers for equipment used to control the flow of water across the dam below.
