Tsumango to Kiso Fukushima

Today was going to be the big 18 km hike, however only 4 chose to accept the challenge. The remaining 8 did a relatively short walk from Tsumago to the village over the hill to Nagisio where we caught the train for a 45 min ride to Keso-Fukushima.
Before that, we explored Tsumago and the Museum where we were given a talk on traditional Japanese houses.
The 8 renegades that didn't do the big hike had a lovely day exploring Keso-Fukushima. We had a delicious lunch at a restaurant before meeting up with the A Group who arrived at Nagisio by train (after their hike!)
We were then driven to our Ryokan (much more up-market) where we were served a Japanese degustation of 15 dishes! This was a fabulous meal but far too much food!
Tomorrow we do a 9 km hike through mountains, however, it will be much cooler and less humidity. We are heading for Tokyo and the trek will finish in 2 days time. A really great day today!Baca lagi
