These puzzles are not just ordinary puzzles but they are riddles that unlocks the next location of a bomb . ( I shall not tell any more details since it will spoil the fun ). Review Now the concept isn't something really new. We just have enough bites on our plate with these type of d...

Getting There: Taijiri Jinja   We did not wait for the next bus to arrive as the interval for the next bus is quite long ( You have to wait for at least 1 hour before the next bus to arrive).  From google map ( having done previous research), it did say it was just a 2km walk ( but of course it did not mention that there will be an uphill climb)  So we walked along the road and saw some Free! posters along the way. They were Free! images so we thought that it was the correct way to reach the place.. I guess, it wasn't . ..In any case do not attempt to take that road/shortcut as it's a bit dangerous.

It was breathtaking indeed! )   Iwami is really a small town, and you certainly cannot find convenience store near the station. That Lawson convenience store is still miles away from the station. We had no choice but to hold off our hunger. ( Better stuff yourself with food before you come here unless you plan on staying on the inn here )  Iwami Station We arrived shortly at past 12, just in t...
