Around here the highways that they just have mostly finished building are almost all free and well worth it IMO. They are also quite heavily used. It is interesting how the pay sections are often avoided - and I admit there's one section that we often avoid.

I thought the pine disease was caused by a beetle, but either way it's spreading again. I saw it in Iwate in the summer and wrote about it here - https://lessknownjapan.substack.com/p/goishi-kaigan?r=7yrqz

If you know places with beautiful pines go visit them now before the disease gets them
