Our last ride was a gaijin and his friend. Bugzee (his nickname) and Ken picked us up from Himeji Service Area and took us into Kobe. We stopped at Ken's house to drop him and his stuff off before Bugzee dropped us at a local train station. We caught a train to Maiko and got a bus back to the Oasis. Not the best way to end the hitchhiking experience, but it got us there.
