Located in the cool depths of a mine, in the heartlands of central Japan, the design of this neutrino detector is mind-boggling.
After visiting the lovely Wakanoura district and two magnificent temples in Wakayama (I’ll come back to those another time), I take a wide detour on the way back to Nara. Direction the terraced rice fields of Aragijima...
