The gloomy bamboo forest

We took 2 train rides to get to a train station, to get on another train... but what was special about this train was that it had no windows, a plastic see through roof and it was a scenic train through the mountain,along the river. It was a ride for us to then get on a boat back down the Hozu-gawa river.
The boat ride was pretty cold and at the end I got to have a turn at paddling. We went down some rapids which got us going a bit faster. We sat at the front but had to cover our legs with a plastic sheet so we didn't get wet.
We had a fantastic Japanese curry called tonkatsu. It warmed us up.
We walked through the Bamboo Forest and it felt mysterious because it was gloomy.
For dinner we went to a sushi train place with a big TV touch screen. You order what you want off the big screen and it is delivered via a conveyor belt. Probably the coolest sushi train I have ever been to.Read more
