Thursday 27/12/18 Takayama on the way to Kyoto

on
It was a big trip from Kaminashi to Kyoto, but luckily we had over an hour break in Takayama, so we went on a mini tour of a temple and pagoda just a short walk from the station.

Monday 14/01/19 Yakushima

 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.

Thursday 20/12/18 to Kamikatsu

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.
