Diary
Fist I watched around Takayama city. It was so many people in the morning market. The sightseeing route is well considered, it did not make tourist boring. I heard the drawer of rickshaw, "Tsumago is an old post town, and here Takayama is an old merchant town." I saw Shirakawago, an old farming village. I thought the last one I had to see was samurai town, but I remembered I saw samurai town in Hagi. So I saw all types of Japanese town.
Gero onsen was great! I descending Hiraji road quet. I headed for Mino-kamo. When I was eating Hida-gyu Takoyaki and watching map, I found there was a road to Nakatsugawa. There was one hill climb but I choiced the route to Nakatsugawa. At last I started to go east! The short cut way in just before Nakatsugawa was terrible, but I reached there at last.
From Nakatsugawa Sta. I called to the business hotel.... "Sorry, all rooms are reserved." "All room are reserved" "Sory......" Yes, it was the most popular day in Golden Week. There was only two hotel remained in telephone book. I called to a hotel named "Mikiya". "One people? Ok!" I went the place and found it was the Izakaya I came last year. They are also managing hotel. There was another call for reservation, but it was rejected. I found I had reserved the last room.
Bike doesn't go well, but WADACHI goes in full throttle.
