There is a detective novel that "9 miles is too far".
The original title in English is "THE NINE MILE WALK"
It's one of my favorite detective novels.
It's a little less than 16 pages, so you can read it right away.
It's a short story.
It may be better to read this novel before reading this sentence.
You can see it by searching on the Internet.
What kind of story is
"It's not easy to walk a nine-mile road, especially in the rain."
The original text is “A nine mile walk is no joke, especially in the rain.”
There was "Ichirizuka" in Japan.
It is a sign that is set up as a walking distance in one hour.
"1 ri" is about 3.927 km.
One mile is about 1.6km.
9 miles is 14.5km.
"3 ri" is about 11.7 km.
It's a 3 hour walk normally.
Is it too far?
The reason I'm talking about this is that he actually lived "3 ri" north of Kyoto.
His name is "Ryozen Houshi".
His waka poem is one of "Hyakunin Isshu".
He was lonely.
And he left home.
He came back in the evening.
And he wrote a waka poem.
Same everywhere,
It was autumn dusk.
I think he went out to the city of Kyoto because he was lonely.
3 hours on foot.
If he arrived in Kyoto at noon,
He went out in the morning and was able to come home in the evening.
He went there for 6 hours round trip.
However, it was not satisfied.
Autumn dusk is lonely.
