So, in my journey around the largest Japanese island, Honshu, I have entered the Northernmost city in the Niigata Prefecture, Murakami.

After crossing the first bridge, the first large road sign showed that if I keep on this road, I’ll head right into Central Murakami.

Now, that’s not a given, of course, because I’ll be sticking to the yellow roads closest to the coast, and I could end up going around it.

Anyway, to my first find in this city...

...a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . It’s rather unusual, really. No service station, no signage that seems to be pointing out the fact that it’s there.

Strange.

After a while since my last Italian car find, I spotted this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

Then, I spotted this shop with some !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (the Snap-On truck).

Upon entering Central Murakami, I came across this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! in a really nice shade of red.

The rest of the route in and out of Central Murakami, though...nothing out of the usual, mostly kei cars and trucks. Nothing imported at all.

So, the next part of the route will take me out of the city and up North to Tsuruoka in the Yamagata Prefecture.

I’ll be honest, I’m not expecting to find much on the way there, but who knows.

Yeah, they seem to pop up when you least expect it. Nothing like all those American cars I found back in Seir, though.
