Ayaka was too sleepy to come on a trip so we went to Nara by ourselves.
We saw lots of the famous deer who follow tourists around hoping for a snack, and somehow manage to cross roads without incident.
The Todaiji was way too crowded so instead we went to a secret garden that Noriko knew about hidden just around the corner... despite being free for tourists it was almost empty and a much nicer place to sit and enjoy the quiet, sunny afternoon.
On the way home we had a bit of trouble getting okonamiyaki without meat, but Noriko sorted them out and as we finally may our way back to Ayaka's apartment it started snowing.

We decided to go to Shiratani unsuikyo because it might rain tomorrow and we might not be able to visit there if it rains a lot. On the bus on the way up, the bus driver spotted some monkeys and stopped for us to take some photos. How nice! We ordered this onigiri (rice-ball) lunch in a bamboo leaf. Noriko could not wait until lunchtime and had one in ohara town where we chenged the bus. Dinner on the way home featured the local fisherman's flying fish. It was delicious! It was 1300yen including the dessert.

We caught the first ferry back to start an epic trip to Kamikatsuchou. Our ducks came out for lunch. We got a lift from our next hosts to save us from some bus hopping to get to this tiny mountain village. It is famous for its recycling efforts, and people come from all over Japan to learn how to improve their local recycling programs. A lot of effort at the recycling centre goes into sorting things into hundreds of categories. Onsen food for a very early dinner. The homestay at a local farm was fantastic.
