The trip didn't start off that well - I realised on the train from Nagoya that I had lost my suitcase key, a tree fell on the line delaying us for 2.5 hours, and I ended up having my suitcase locks expertly picked by a locksmith in the police box outside Nagano Station. But once we got past all that, we had a wonderful stayat Seifusou ryokan in Yudanaka, with its incredibly nice staff and insanely hot spring water.
Monday was David's birthday, and we went to the snow monkey park which had no snow but plenty of Japanese macaques. Then after wandering around the town for a little we had dinner and went back to the hotel for cake and cocoa and mattcha lattes!
Today we visited Ganshoin Temple and wandered around Obuse, and are aboutto change at Nagoya for Okayama. All change and heading south!
