Por los Alpes Japoneses.
... de la mesa, eso sí, en el suelo. Yo ya no sabía como ponerme. Pero a pesar de esa pequeña incomodidad estuvo genial. De las conversaciones ya ni hablo, os podéis imaginar, salvo dos personas, los demás de ingles nada. Y por si eso fue poco, a la mañana siguiente, Motoko y un ¨Julián¨ auténtico, nos acompañaron a visitar la ciudad. Es sorprendente y a la vez reconfortante, que gente que ...
Day 9: Kanazawa - Higashi Chaya and Kenrokuen
... we saw in Nikko or Tokyo. One highlight worth sharing is when we arrived at the famous pond and lantern spot, the chosen location for many posters and pictures featuring the garden.

Day 6: Takayama - Old Town and Bike Tour
... exceeded our expectations. We knew signing up for the tour that our eyes were in for a treat but what we didn't expect was the interaction we had with the locals. Our first pit stop was a water break at a natural spring, we bumped into two locals, an old lady and a middle aged woman who looked like farmers. They were using the water from the spring to wash the vegetables they have grown and picked. They had a whole wheel barrel full of red radishes and they ...
