This was a really fun day! the train ride was nice and peaceful we started out in magome, but we had to take a super cramped ride up to the top where the town was, we were packed in tight and it was quite the experience

after a nice group meal we started moving down the nakasendo! it was a beautiful area with huge mountains. at one of the rest spots along the way i tried horse sashimi! it wasnt the best, but it was very interesting and I had a nice conversation with the women who ran the shop.

we were invited in for another rest stop and at this one there was free tea and candies! the man there was very sweet and it was a very cool old style barn.

the whole trip was absolutely gorgeous and the path was incredible with huge trees and small shrines set up along the way. we passed by some lovely waterfalls as well!
