Nagano

It's time for us to leave Tokyo for the next stop on our japanese adventures. We took the Ginza line from Asakusa to Euno station to take the shinkansen (bullet train) to Nagano. Of course, it's obligatory to purchase some food for the trip and the food stores inside the station do not disappoint! We got an egg and katsu sandwich, a mango and cream sandwich along with some assorted dumplings.

Nagano is in the Japanese Alps, and it was an hour and forty minute trip. We took some video along the way and enjoyed our lunch.

Our apartment, Compass, is about 5 minutes walk from the station. The apartment is quite spacious, although the 5th floor location without an elevator will certainly keep us fit 😄

We weren't up for too much excitement on night one, some cold drinks and snacks from the 7/11, and a card game in the arvo. We know how to 🥳

A quiet night in front of Netflix is needed to recharge the batteries for some shrine action to follow the next day.Read more
