in Japan, Japan2016, Ntrips, Trips
After sleeping in Tateyama, we took the first train we took that would take us to Takayama, but sadly getting out of Tateyama was long and slow, and because of a complicated train routing, staying on the direct train got us in Toyama 9mn too late and made us miss our fast train connection to Takayama (apparently we had to exit our direct train and take a connection to arrive in Toyama quicker, that wasn't obvious). As a result, we wasted an hour waiting for the next train (this time a slow one), and arriving there at slower pace:
the big door allows for the floats to get in and out a few times a year
we learned about raising silk worms
they make little white cocoons like those, and they are unwrapped to make silk threads
aqueduct that allowed a water stream to cross another water stream, cool :)
this honda fit, did not fit :)
the walking course was very well marked and easy to follow
nice forest walk (although a lot of uphill to the castle ruins, but no animals :(
all houses used to have access to the water, but some just gave it up now
our ryokan had a very old cat that was half deaf and blind
