We walked to a bakery on the shopping street we'd spotted yesterday. We got some 4 cheese focaccia and a bagel to have for breakfast.

I spoke with the hotel reception about luggage transfer for our Saturday ride to our next destination, Ikuchijuma. There's a luggage transfer service available between participating hotels - they pick up and drop off on the same day. The reception lady was super helpful and confirmed everything with our arrival hotel. Hopefully, it will all work out 🤞

We set off to take the ropeway to the top of the hills to check out the views. A ropeway is a cable car, and they certainly packed us into the car; we were like sardines. We did get some good photos, so it was worth it.
