Todd: So, Steven, what do you like to do in your free time?
Steven: Um, free time. Well, I would just love to have some free time, occasionally 1 I have some free time and well, I love to go hiking. Ah, I live in Japan in Kyuushuu and there are some beautiful mountains quite nearby to where I live so sometimes I go, I go hiking in the mountains.
Todd: Well, actually, I love hiking and I am new to Kyuushuu (Right) I just moved here, so can you tell me where I should go hiking. What are the best spots?
Steven: Right, well, there's one range of mountains in Kuju. One of the mountains is called Nakadake, which means central peak, I believe, and that is actually the highest, the highest peak, the highest mountain on mainland 2 Kyuushuu. There is one higher mountain on an island near Kagoshima but on mainland Kyuushuu that's the highest peak and it's quite a challenge and there are some beautiful views from that mountain.
Todd: Wow! Is it a day hike? Can I hike it in one day?
Steven: Oh, sure. It takes about three hours to go up and the descent 3 takes about two hours.
It takes about two hours to come back down.
Todd: Oh, that's great well, we live on Beppu and Beppu is on the coast. It's on the ocean, so how can
I get to the mountain. Unfortunately, I don't have a car, so can I take the train or a bus?
Steven: Um, I'm not absolutely sure. I've only ever been by car myself. Um, I don't believe there's a train that
stops by the mountain but you can certainly get closer than you are now by train, and then you can perhaps
take a bus or even a taxi from a town closer by. I don't know. I'm sorry.
Todd: Oh, that's OK. Well, you know, I've never done it before, but I hear that it's safe
to hitchhike in Japan. Is that true?
Steven: Oh, absolutely. Yep. Yep. The crime rate in Japan is so low. You'd have to be incredibly
unlucky to have any problems hitchhiking
Todd: And will people stop and pick me up?
Steven: Ah, that I don't know.
Todd: Maybe I'll have to give it a try. OK, thanks a lot.
Steven: You're welcome.
