Day 5: Wajima to Suzu

Ideal weather with a high in the low 70s.  The Noto Peninsula is a beautiful area with low traffic, stunning ocean vistas and enchanting small villages.  Enjoy the pictures along the route today including two elderly ladies bicycling in one of the villages.  I close with a few pictures of our accommodations in Suza and public hot spring onsen.  Enjoy a virtual tour of day 5 on the Samurai Epic.

Beautiful vista along the route after a long climb.

Crossed the 6,000 mile mark for 2019 today with Toyama Bay in the background.

The first significant climb of the day. 10% grade most of the way up the hill.

The next three photos are along the Toyama Bay.  Our route follows the coast most of the way around the peninsula.
