Gujo Hachiman to Kameoka (Kyoto)
<< Previous Day | Next Day >> | Photo Album | Video
Up not quite as early as recent days. Had a somewhat poor sleep despite the sound of the river – the futon was a bit hard, and Ben snored a fair bit.
The day dawned a bit grey, so we skipped walking through town as originally planned. Instead we stopped at a Family Mart for a quick brekky and then hit the road. Oh, and what a road! The first hour or two was just amazing, fantastic road, nice scenery, luvverly!
This set the tone for the day – mostly just amazing roads and views along the 477, which we followed for most of the day, skipping only some sections. We visited a waterfall which involved a bit of a scramble up a steep forest path followed by a stroll to the main waterfall, which had a tori-gate set up in front of it as well as a small shrine. It was rather nice.
We took the expressway for 100km or so to skip the urban conglomeration of Nagoya and got some great views of the harbour bridges. But overall boring as heck and a little bit strenuous as we had very strong winds.
Once off the expressway we had another awesome section of road and then had lunch at Mos Burger after the wait in the local beef place was too long. Many more great roads followed along with a visit to a small forest shrine.
We finally reached the hotel and opted for a second room after having had shared accommodation for the last few nights. Then it was off to dinner at an indian restaurant not too far away.
Time for bed..
