The return of imaginary biking!
(Recap: imaginary biking is where you do real biking, but you pretend you're actually getting somewhere.)

Picking up from where we last left off in Arihata, 107 total miles, and the town of Shichinohe in Aomori. Its main industries are yams, garlic, dairy products, and racehorses. There used to be a castle, but it looks like not much remains. They have azaleas that look really impressive in May. The local specialty is called 'pony' steamed buns, but they do not have real ponies in them. As far as I can tell.

There's the 'remains' of a castle out in western Tokyo that looks much like that: a nice green hill. Not sure why the Shichinohe one is all 'important cultural site: no entrance' though. It's just... a nice green hill.

The azaleas OTOH are stunning.
