      Takayama - day 2

      10 avril, Japon ⋅ ☀️ 4 °C

      After breakfast we caught a local bus to the Hida folk village, about 10 minutes away from Takayama. The village is very much in the style of St Fagans or Beamish with a range of buildings that have been transported from where they were originally built.

      The buildings are all typical of the region but differ subtly in construction and look depending on where they were originally. For example, buildings with a much stronger roof because of the amount of snow that it would need to bear in the winter.

      The weather was much better today and with the sun out we spent a pleasant couple of hours wandering around before getting the bus back in to town.

      After a quick refreshment stop we next walked through the town and spent some time walking along the Higashiyama trail along the hillside where there is a row of about 13 temples and shrines. This brought us to Shiroyama park, a wooded area in higher ground where the old Takayama castle used to be. We stopped here and had a snack and a beer in the sun.

      Back in to town for a look around the craft shops. Takayama is famous for is craft including woodworkers. At 4pm we had a tour of a local sake brewery and learnt how sake is made, along with trying a few samples of different sake.

      After the tour we headed to the craft beer bar that we had been to the previous day before deciding that an early dinner might be easier given the problems that we had the last night in finding a place.

      We found a local steak place and had a delicious set meal including appetisers, bread, soup and Hida steak (the local speciality beef).

      After this we walked back to the hotel for an evening of cards in the rooftop lounge.      En savoir plus

      Affenpark

      14 décembre 2023, Japon ⋅ ☀️ 6 °C

      Hinten im Höllental (Jigokudani), wo während rund eines drittels des Jahres Schnee liegt, sollen Makaken in einer heissen Quelle baden. Mein Weg führt nach dem Auschecken mittels Bus und per pedes dort hin. Bereits beim Eingang in den Park sind auf einem Life-Bildschirm badende japanische Schneeaffen zu sehen. Die Chancen stehen also gut, dass sie nach einer kurzen Wanderung auch noch dort sein werden. In den wärmeren Jahreszeiten halten sich die Tiere nämlich weiter oben im Tal auf. Die Besucher werden informiert, die Affen weder zu füttern noch zu streicheln. Auch soll ein Mindestabstand von einem Meter eingehalten werden. Bei der Quelle angekommen, stelle ich sehr schnell fest, dsss es die Affen sind, welche sich um die Abstandsregel scheren. Allerdings scheinen sie sehr friedliebend zu sein und lassen die Menschen in Ruhe. Nicht in Ruhe lassen sie aber seinesgleichen. Hüben und drüben wird gefaucht, geschrien und einander nachgerant. Unter den zig ausgewachsenen Tieren sind auch sehr viele Jungtiere auszumachen.
      So, genug gefroren. Ich mache mich auf den Rückweg, um mit Bus und Bahn nach Nagano zurück zu fahren. Gebadet haben übrigens nur ein paar wenige. Fast scheint es so, als ob diese zum Badedienst für die fotografierenden Touristen abkommandiert geworden seien...      En savoir plus

      Snow Monkey Park

      22 janvier, Japon ⋅ ☁️ 5 °C

      Vom Snow Monkey Park hat mir ein Reisender in Thailand erzählt. Eine heiße Quelle soll es dort geben, zu der Affen aus der Umgebung kommen, um sich zu waschen und aufzuwärmen.

      Als ich nach langer aber reibungsloser Zugfahrt am Bahnhof ankam, holte mich der Inhaber meines Hostels ab, da dieses weit außerhalb liegt. Der Aufenthaltsraum war dafür super gemütlich: Boden, Möbel, Decken, Tresen - alles aus dunklem Holz. Dazu ein leichter Geruch nach Lagerfeuer aus Richtung des Kamins, der Wärme für den ganzen Raum spendete.

      Am nächsten Morgen fuhr ich zusammen mit drei anderen Hostel-Gästen zum Parkplatz beim Snow Monkey Park. Dort beginnt das Schutzgebiet, in das Besucher nur zu Fuß gelangen. Meine Sneaker, die schon den thailändischen Dschungel überlebt hatten, habe ich mehrfach durch gründliches Schrubben und Waschmaschinen wiederbeleben müssen. Nun wurden sie vom frostigen Boden des festgetrampelte. Weges noch ein letztes Mal geprüft - aber das war kein Problem und der Weg war nicht weit.

      Bei dem Park handelt es sich um ein Stück Flussufer und das heiße Bad, das die Affen zum Baden benutzen. Abends verziehen sie sich zum Schlafen in den Wald, morgens kommen sie wieder zurück. Gegen die Kälte kuscheln sie sich oft in kleinen Gruppen zusammen. Besonders im Winter bekommen sie am Fluss auch Futter - wahrscheinlich würde eine so große Population sonst Schwierigkeiten bekommen, durchzuhalten.

      Dass die Affen tolle Fotomotive sind und generell schön anzuschauen, hat sich natürlich rumgesprochen. Als ich mich noch gegen Vormittag auf den Rückweg machte, strömten mehr und mehr Menschen in Richtung Park. Aber das sollte nicht mehr meine Sorge sein. Ich wurde vom Gastgeber noch zu einem Restaurant mit Onsen gefahren, wo ich mich gut entspannen konnte. Beim Essen schnackte ich mit einer Gruppe netter Japaner, die hier Skiurlaub machen, mir bei meiner Bestellung halfen, und mich an ihren Tisch einluden.

      Heute habe ich mir einen gemütlichen Tag im Aufenthaltsraum gemacht, bin an Apfelbaumfeldern vorbei zum Späti spaziert und schon mal eine To Do Liste für die nächsten Wochen angelegt. Morgen geht es dann zurück nach Tokyo, in ein Museum und dann ins Hostel in Flughafennähe.      En savoir plus

      Hoshi Onsen

      15 octobre 2023, Japon ⋅ 🌙 13 °C

      E längeri Reis het uf üs gwartet, zum Glück chöi mir beidi so guet pfuse im Shinkansen. Ersch nach Nagano, Spielort vo vergangene Olympische Spiu und bereits i de „japanische Alpe“ hei mr usm Fenster gluegt u si churz drufabe umgstigä. Zwöi Busse hei üs immer meh i die dicht bewaldete Täler vo dere Berglandschaft inegfüehrt. Bim Umstiege vom einte zumne no chlinere Büssli, simer üs nid 100% sicher gsi ob mr richtig stö. Dank dr Kamerafunktion vom google translater, dä het üs o scho i einige Restis us dr Patsche ghulfe, heimer gwüsst das mr am Richtige Ort stö: nach Hoshi :)

      Z kalte Herbstwätter het perfekt passt für zwöi Nächt imne schöne, traditionelle Onsenhotel. Einzig e Skilift und es paar semiguet unterhaltnigi Hüttli heimer ufm Wäg dert härä atroffe. Das mr üs bi dene zwöi Nächt o no e Haubpension gönne, isch uf jede Fau richtig gsi.
      Z Hotel het e eigeti heissi Thermalquelle wo ungeranderem 3 Onsebäder spist. Z Ältiste drvo isch düre Tag es gmischts (Froue u Männer), bi de andere zwöi hets e Liste gha wenn weles Gschlecht Zuetritt het. I grossä u aute Holzhalle si die Becki, o us Holz, wunderschön gläge. Wie üs e begeisterete Japaner später ir Lobby vrzeut het, si die japanische Dame sehr schüch und umso meh Freud heisi gha het sich d Laura is gmischte Bad trout.
      I däm heisse Wasser söttme nid viu länger us 10min blibä und wicklet sich när wieder i si „Yukata“ wome vom Hotel zur Verfüegig gstellt wird. Dr Rest vom Tag heimer üs mit Spieli spiele u läsä vrtriebe.

      I ha somit no die letzte Sitä vom Buech „Kafka am Strand“ vom Haruki Murakami ferti gläse. E super Autore-Tipp vom Götti, es isch definitiv empfehlenswert e Roman z läsä wo im Land spiut wome gad bereist!

      Zum zNacht heisi üse Vegi-Wunsch vou umgsetzt und mir hei zwöi mau wie Königä zNacht gesse. I x Schäli heimer heissi u kalti Grichg serviert becho u hei fasch nid gwüsst wo azfah.
      Nachdäm mr dä bärg vo ässe verschlunge hei, simer no einisch id Onsen und hei d Stimmig am Abe gnosse. Zrügg im Zimmer heisi ir Zwüschezyt z Tischli weggruhmt und uf de Tatami-Matte üses Futonbett härgrichtet.
      Mir hei gstunet womer d Wahl hei gha ob mr am 7.30; 7.45 oder am 8.00 wei zmörgele. Überraschenderwis heimer üs für die letzti Option entschiede. Sogar ig us fanatische Zmörgeler ha gstunet u Müeh gha, ds riese zMorge mit Suppe, Salat, Tofu, Riis etc. z ässe. Meh us gsättigt simer när zrügg u statt wie di meiste Japaner:inne is Wasser, heimer nomau e Nuck gno. Nachere Soba am Mittag simer churz ums Huus d Bei chli ga vrträtte, bim erste autbekannte Bäreschild (diesmau ohni Gloggä) heimer de wieder kehrt u si zrügg.
      So heimer zwöi Täg die Badekultur gnosse, und da mr quasi keni eigete Kleider brucht hei, heimer no gad gwöschet. Iz simer erhout und gwäsche für 5 Täg Tokyo zum Abschluss in Japan :)      En savoir plus

      Abendessen

      13 décembre 2023, Japon ⋅ ⛅ 3 °C

      Das Abendessen besteht aus mehreren Gängen und bietet diverse japanische Köstlichkeiten aus der lokalen Natur. Was es alles war? Ich weiss es nicht mehr. Was ich aber noch weiss: Manche Speisen mundeten besser, andere etwas weniger. Was aber nicht der ausgezeichneten Küche, sondern eher den verzogenen schweizerischen Geschmacksnerven geschuldet ist.
      Vollgefressen - ich kann es nicht anders schreiben - trolle ich mich wenig später zurück in die Logie. Ein Bett hat es zwar immer noch nicht. Aber im Wohnzimmer finde ich nun ein gemütliches Futon-Bett. Echt japanisch eben. Gute Nacht.      En savoir plus

      Monkeying Around

      22 septembre 2023, Japon ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

      The snow monkeys were incredible to get up close to. There were hundreds of them wandering past our feet, basking in the sun or grooming each other. The little ones were the cutest, just having a good old rough and tumble until mumma monkey came barreling in to scoop one up and leap away.

      I just wanted to cuddle a monkey, but you know, rabies is not the best colour for me. Plus, touching the monkeys is strictly prohibited, there are signs everywhere saying this. But I guess the monkeys didn't get the memo as Noah and Paul bore witness to some, errr monkey 'self-love' on display, complete with creative recycling of the well... you get the point. I didn't get that on film, and I'm not upset about that 🫣

      So many photos, I had to remember to put down the camera and just take it all in. The walk back to the bus was equally special, all of us buzzing with what we had just witnessed.

      With time to spare, we stopped off for an apple pizza (whilst in Rome right?) for lunch, followed by dinner at a restaurant chain that totally catfished us with photos of rump steak. Poor Paulie didn't get his luscious steak however, at least the kids were happy with some semblance of Western food.

      Paulie kept saying 'it was the best birthday because we were all together'.
      I think it's the best because he's part of our world and we are so grateful for this. Even Matsumoto agreed; fireworks were cracking off in the distance, clearly in his honour! We watched from the hotel window as we ate Family Mart birthday cake and sipped on gin

      💘 Happy birthday, darling boy. We love you so much.

      Enjoy hanging with a bunch of naked strangers in the sauna. Perhaps don't shout "It's my BIRTHDAY!" 🥴🤌

      Kusatsu

      30 décembre 2022, Japon ⋅ ⛅ -2 °C

      While wandering through kusatsu I mostly just picked a direction and walked to see where I could end up. The first thing which took my attention was the temple on the hill so I headed up that way. It was flurries at the time which made it feel quite magical. I got myself a little custard man and used one of the hot foot baths, the whole place reminded me a lot of Rotorua with the sulphur smell.
      I went to see a show which demonstrated how they cooled down the water without dilution traditionally, there was a story about how many famous people have come to this town and many emperors obtained the water from here for their private baths to relieve ailments.
      The central part of town itself had a European influence to it and there were lots of nice smelling restaurants as I walked past but as my meals were being provided by the hotel I didn't get to try any of them.
      In the morning I decided to walk down the hill and came across the onsen I missed going to, I was tempted but at that point had done 5 onsens in the last 24 hours anyway so I really didn't need it.
      I got myself some negima Yakitori and garlic, was a little hard with translation with him but I at least had a little bite to eat.      En savoir plus

      Snow monkey park

      29 décembre 2022, Japon ⋅ ☁️ 2 °C

      I caught a bullet train down to Nagano for the day since I have a rail pass I may as well make the most of it. I had booked the train tickets last night which seemed to be enough time to make sure I got a seat. I jumped on a coach from the train station which took around 40 minutes and they had fully loaded every seat. And by that I mean they even had extra seats which folded down in the middle aisle. As soon as I arrived it started snowing, it was almost like a hail with very soft and light round pieces of snow. I did my normal of talking to randoms as I went, one guy was heading off to a brewery which was in the area and a girl from Melbourne had just arrived and was doing the snow monkey park as well so I hung out and talked with her for the walk.
      At the start of the walk there was a shop selling crampons and I wasn't sure I needed them and got them only for the novelty but by the end I'm so glad I got them. I saw a lot of other people slipping over on the walk.
      While walking through the forest trees would randomly drop snow every now and then, I kept trying to capture it but you had to be really quick.
      My legs were still a little sore from the skiing but the walk was pretty basic and just took it at a slow pace.
      The monkeys themselves were quite cute just hanging in the hot pools, at some points they just reminded me of a bunch of old men sitting around.
      We headed back about halfway and noticed the onsen by the river, I was tempted but it was really exposed and also thought it was weird that all the guys were naked but the girl getting in was in a swimsuit. I don't think it was supposed to be mixed or swimwear but I guess that happens. It was cool seeing them soaking with the monkeys but I also worried about infection as it stunk a bit from their poo.
      The walk back was uneventful but found some small ducks and nice paths to take photos of.      En savoir plus

      Kusatsu Tropical Wonderland

      31 décembre 2022, Japon ⋅ ⛅ 0 °C

      I was wandering through Kusatsu talking to Mum and Dad when he said I was close to somewhere which had Capybaras and said I should visit so I popped in for a look. They had a fair lot of animals, started with the bugs and hand cleaning fish, then headed down to a dome structure which had the rest of the animals. The home itself looked very dirty and rusting to the point it might break but maybe that was the dilapidated tropical look???
      I walked down and watched the monkeys for a little bit but these ones were not as calm as the snow monkey forest ones.
      When you first walked in there were crocodiles and alligators in tiny pens so they didn't move much. The owls were cute and the tarantula was hanging out in the middle section with a whole bunch of lizards and frogs. Then there were lots of snakes with money that had been left behind by people, I assume it was a good luck thing but found it interesting that no-one stole the money as it was just sitting there.
      I fed the Capybaras, there were probably 10 of them and one had got into the rabbit pen and was stealing their food. A sloth was in the corner just sleeping under the heat lamp.
      As I walked around the corner there were some monkeys who were very cute and interested in the humans. I stayed with the pigmy marmosets for a while as they made a really nice bird chirping call.
      I saw the bat hanging out and he tried to bite me through the cage.
      They then had some baby chickens, hamsters and micro pigs you could play with. The micro pigs were very skittish though.
      I went outside and said hello to the Lama who seemed unbothered by the snow.      En savoir plus

      Shagi Kogen Day 5- Blast to Tokyo

      13 mars, Japon ⋅ 🌫 -3 °C

      Woke up to a buried van and a fresh 40cm overnight, but high winds and poor vis also. Never the less, keen to make the most of our last morning riding on our passes, plus with Callum, we pushed out to find a couple of very windy face blasty lines, but bloody lovely powder to boot!
      Nice way to finish our trip together, with both Callum and Vikki.

      After riding a few hours in the morning, we boogie down the hill to drop Callum at the Train station and said our goodbyes for now, "See ya back in Aotearoa, sucka" but honestly "Thanks for the good times and the fresh lines my dude"

      Then I drove head on back to Tokyo, to try to drop off the van and then get to Lex's in a reasonable time. Due to traffic, GPS drop outs in tunnels and a few other hijinx, I was way off on timing but still got there in the end and was treated to a beautiful sunset over Tokyo as a silver lining to getting lost as a fox.

      One last chill night with Lex, Midouri and Anji before boosting back to Aus was a great way to finish off a wicked trip in Japan.      En savoir plus
