Distasteful as it may be to get up at 6 AM on vacation, as a hitchhiker you must get an '''early start'''. Many of the longest rides are available early in the morning, and your hitchhiking day will come to an end when the sun goes down.
*Comment: The biggest thing I found wrong with the hitchhikers guide to Japan. I '''rarely''' got good rides in the morning, in fact, my ride/wait ratio was much worse with 20 minute waits for 20 minute rides in the mornings vs 30-40 minute waits at night for 2 hour rides. I would always use morning to walk around, explore my locale, then start hitching after noon. I got most of my best rides in the early afternoon and right around 517:00-6 pm18:00. Hitching after 8pm 20:00 takes a lot longer, but often you get '''really''' good rides out of it. I would '''not''' suggest waking up early for rides. [[User:Traceoftoxin|traceoftoxin]]
If the weather is bad, it's best to give up hitchhiking for the day and figure out something else to do. A sodden figure standing forlornly in the rain with his thumb out is not a pitiful figure in Japan, he's a dangerous lunatic.
