Access to Iwaizumi is limited by access through the village of Tanohata. You can still reach Tanohata from either the south (Miyako through the Omoto section of Iwaizumi) or the north (Kuji to Tanohata) along Route 45
 
These are directions from Kuji City Office to Iwaizumi Town Office. Please follow these directions to the point to where you have to turn left onto route 173 from route 45 If coming from the south. Use the blue highlighted route. This is the only accessible route to Iwaizumi at the moment.

Don't Drive and INGRESS

INGRESS is an interesting smartphone game and I have been playing months now. What is INGRESS?  Here's a wiki. Ingress (game) via Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingress_(game) Players have to move around their towns for this game, so some players walk, another players use their bikes, and others drive. But you have to be very careful when you play this game and drive your car at the same time. When you get caught by watching smartphone while your are driving, you will get 1 penalty point on your driver's license and also the ticket cost you 6,000 yen. How do I know about it?

(Sometime, it's not really used in common, but they pick those words anyway.) Last year, they chose some words from from politic, such as Abe Seiji wo Yurasanai (or "We won't tolerate Abe's politics") SEALDs, the "youth (well, there are some young folks but mostly old folks in their 60s and 70s) group" going against to Abe's politics) and so on.

I got banned from facebook AGAIN for a week.

Facebook banned me of posting and sharing on timeline, sending messages, and like button for any post for a week.  Right now, what I can do on facebook is only to login. 　  　  　　 　 I asked what I did wrong to get banned to the help desk, but they have not replied me anything yet.  　 What I did right before I had got banned was re-activating one of my pages about discussing the differences between the facts and the fake news on fake medias.   　  　 Well, these are my new pages:    Please give your "like" on my pages.  You will be receiving tons of update (since those pages are updated by bots) from the pages, but you can hide them too.
