Freshies
Woke up this morning to reports of between 80cm and 110cm of new snow in 24 hour period...and blue skies!
Perfect powder day...but alas, not for us. After another dentist appointment for David, we headed on the train from Myoko Kogen back to Nagano, through Takasaki and up into Minikami.
It was about 250kms, done in efficient Japanese style in 3 hours by train (including transfer times).
We're now at a wonderful 1920s Japanese Ryokan called Takaragawaonsen about 40 mins out of Minakami.
There is apparently a wireless connection, but I haven't been able to connect yet, so you get a photo via the blackberry of sunrise from our bedroom this morning.
More to come (we have @ 90 photos to put up when we get internet).
