Toyoko Inn Matsumoto-ekimae Honcho

... n de itinerarios. <br><br><li>Y los baños... los aseos... están milagrosamente ¡¡¡limpios!!! Y te permiten experiencias casi virtuales como esa en la que al entrar en el habitáculo reservado a las deposiciones, me sobresalté en gran medida al creer que una tubería estallaba y dejaba caer una cascada de proporciones dantescas sobre mí... pero al alejarme para no morir ahogado cesó de inmediato ...

Settling in in Matsumoto. Spent about 4 1/2 hours on trains today, slow one from Nikko to Utsunomiya, a shinkansen to Omiya, another shinkansen to Nagano, then another slow train to Matsumoto. Signs of civilization at the Matsumoto station - a Starbucks!<br><br>Hoping that I can find the castle tomorrow. The ryokan has bicycles to lend, so I'm going to try and ...

So welchen Weg nehmen wir, als sich d** Weg teilte - die 1.3km od** die 1.8km ?? Andi entschied die 1.3 km - nicht ganz so hoch, weil mir ja sonst die puste ausgeht... jaja.

so i am in matsumoto, out of the last 7 nights i spend 6 on parkbenches, the last time i took public transport was 8 days ago and suddenly i have a lot to write about...<br>First, a night in a youthhostel in JP sets you back around 35 to 40 dollar per night...nothing included, except the privilege to check in after 4 pm and leave before nine...ah...and at 9 pm they lock you in...thanks, then i prefer to sleep in my sleepingbag in a park,more fun, mmore adventure, more cheap....<br><br ...

From Obuse, we travelled further along the train line, into the mountains and to a place called Yudanaka. In the winter you can go skiing around here but obviously there was no snow whilst we were here, just a bit of rain. The reason we came here was to visit the snow monkeys. These monkeys are macaques which come down the valley and are partial to bathing in the natural onsen (hot springs). We got a bus ...

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. After Nanami and I stayed up talking all night, I really didn't want to sleep that much. It was a lot to digest, but it was a lot of fun. Breakfast came and went and then we had a final Q&amp;A ...

... and were able to ask them what they thought. We got some really interesting reactions, especially on the Nathan Book, which is fairly controversial. They didn't fully agree that kids were ridiculously crazy in the classroom, although there were plenty of incidences of it happening. After an amazing dinner, we once again broke out the alcohol ...

As the title suggests, I really shouldn't have gone to Kamikochi today. It didn't bode well from the start--I forgot my maps and guides and the driver was particularly worried about me and lack of clothes, as it was SNOWING up in Kamikochi. Which I didn't really appreciate the severity of because from Matsumoto even the tallest hills didn't have any snow on the ground and though Kamikochi is a mile above sea level, it's a valley between two parallelt taller mountain ranges ...

... all day. I caught up on laundry and cleaned the apartment - oh so fun. The next day the weather improved quite a bit and I headed down to the bus station to catch a bus up to Asama Onsen. I found the bus station across the street from the train station and figured out how to buy a ticket from the vending machine! How's that for not knowing any Japanese? I went up the stairs, waited for my bus to arrive and hopped on as soon as it pulled into the ...
