Shimotsuke to Otawara

Continuing on route 4, I made really good time because the roads were well maintained, sometimes newly paved and any hills were engineered with very gradual inclines a direct benefit to cars, commercial trucks and cyclists alike. My next reservation would be in a business hotel. I had sworn off AirBnB after having such an unpleasant experience. (A week later, AirBnB would refund my payment).


I think this was City Hall in Shimotsuke
There were a lot of curiously playful giant jellybeans on it's lawn,



And finally my pleasant room in Select Inn Nishinasuno Ekimae Hotel in Otawara.

Left is a business shrine just outside the Hotel.

The business hotel was a little aged with wifi only available in the common area by the check in desk. It made up for it by having a complementary delicious coffee machine to sip java while doing some needed surfing. The front common area was brightly lit and welcoming with a bakery and sweet shop right across the street and the Shinkansen station was just out the door and to the right.
