Let’s say this otoko took 8 hours a day to sleep, eat and go to the toire. That leaves 173 hours in 11 days of walking non-stop, otoko covered a bit over 7 km/hr (a bit over 4 mph).

Everything about this story is fishy. Robbed in Japan?
“Oh, I don’t want to create a fuss, so I’ll let dear old mother sink into a pit of despair for eleven days”.

Although, a guy in my hometown was dispatched to the store by his mother, to buy bread for lunch. Should have taken half an hour at most.
Two weeks later, he bothers to phone home, from Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca. “Hi mom, sorry about the bread”.
