The rain put our tour of Mt. Koya on hold and eventually cancelled the next morning so after waking up at 5am we had a few hours to relax before we headed down the mountain and on to our next destination, JCMU. I knew this day would be another travel adventure day through Japan. I was very excited about going to JCMU because we would be staying in dorm rooms and we all would get bikes for the week!
It was a gloomy day and very raining which doesn’t make it easy or fun to travel from train to train. We did about half the traveling we did to get up Mt. Koya but it was still a long brutal day. As we arrived to JCMU we all got transported from the train station in about six different taxis and my luggage bag did not fit in the trunk so I had to ride with in my lap for a 5-minute ride from the train station to JCMU. Once we got there we met Iga, the hall director and she assigned all of us rooms. She said that one guy and one girl from our group would be rooming with a student who is already stationed at JCMU from another Michigan University. I knew with my luck that I would be the one to receive a unknown roommate and that’s exactly what happened to me. On my key envelope it stated that I would be rooming with someone unknown and to not touch any of his belongings because he would be gone for the week that I was there. I was ok that he was gone because that meant I had the room to myself with my own privacy. I’m ok with being by myself, it will give me a chance to relax and move at my own pace around the room.
JCMU seems great so far and I love the scenery of the city and Lake Biwa.
