... allí durante la posguerra. La lluvia no impide que la actividad comercial continúe y puedes encontrar puestos de comida, ropa, zapaterías, electrodomésticos, cosmética, etc. <br><br>Cogemos el metro hasta la estación de "Shimbashi" en la zona de "SHIODOME" para comenzar visitando el "Jardín de hama-rikyu" (300 yen). Se trata de 250 hectáreas de terrenos ganados al mar donde impera la sencillez y ...

... some money on cab fare. Hopefully I can remember to ride on the left side of the street and the other vehicles remember to do the same. I'm also hoping that the rumors of English-speaking guides are true.<br><br>Adjusting my expectations... I had thought I'd zip through the castle and get to Kyoto early. Probably not. Everything takes longer than you think.

... famished. After hot soba noodle broth we were still a bit chilled from the rain and so decided to experience the onsen for ourselves (not the same one the monkeys come in, but they sit nearby). I was a bit unsure about this as you have to go in, in the nuddy!!!! how embarrassing!!! but we whipped our towels off and went for it and thank god there was noone else there. We went in the outside onsen, as the ...

... togeth 1000yen (7 quid) for dinner- 2 bowls of noodles, and then went to sleep broke and dreading that we would be stuck there forever. In the morning we arose early to try and get money but no-one could speak any english, nightmare! In the end there was one man from the bank who came and showed us where there was a 3rd atm, that we were unaware of, and sure enough it ejected those lovely yen notes for us :).

Alright, so I ended up getting roughly an hour of sleep, but I think it was less since I kept waking up. I let one of the Japanese kids sleep in my room since he was locked out and ended up on the couch and then trying to sleep in one of the classrooms.

... and snow, but you have ropes either side to help you up onto the trail and also along the path. There is a sudden drop to one side which is covered in trees with lots of things to spot along the way. Naturally I didn't spot anything but i'm sure they're there!!<br><br>The monkeys come down into the pool every 2 hours or so when fed and are absolutely hilarious to watch. The actual area stinks of ammonia and you have to be careful not to tred in poo ...

... to come by to take us back into town. Eventually one arrived and we walked up to the Zenkoji Temple past a street full of temple residences.<br><br>We wandered around the temple complex and gardens and even saw someone ringling the large bell using a wooden log before walking back down to the train station and catching the train back to Tokyo.<br>

... Nagano, ospito' nel '98 le Olimpiadi Invernali, ora essendo qui ed essendo italiano la gente mi grida: "Torino"! Sono le alpi giapponesi (sono proprio chimate cosi: Alpu) e abbiamo trovato delle giornate di sole spettacolari. La primavera e' in arrivo! Siamo rimasti in un monastero di pellegrini, tutto molto giapponese e molto spartano. Qui abbiamo conosciuto dei monaci del Tempio ...
