We spent the day at Yakusugi Land, and it was awesome in spite of the terrible name. Lots of amazing mossy trees, but also some shy deer and lots of quite relaxed monkeys. We had the whole place almost all to ourselves to enjoy the quiet peace of the mountain forest.

Back in Anbo we raided the supermarket for snacks.

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.
