Japon Story: From castles, flowers and bridges

I have several attractions, but the key is felt from that off the train and walk across the bridges, the narrow shopping streets and old quarters, which keep the air with freshness of old. Besides the village festivals carefully prepared in October, where floats and costumes people are added to celebrate the spirit that remains in the village. Local people very friendly and varied services, although the city is visited by Takayama pequeña.Desde day Kamikochi National Park, which gives the opportunity to make some trails. Few accommodations are in this park and is only recommended for those who like hiking and nature, with few amenities.

You can make good trails during the day and find lodging sparingly. In addition, Japan's full of people visiting the park, which is very popular among locals. Since I also visited Takayama Matsumoto, a city located two hours in Nagano Prefecture, which has varied accommodations and many amenities. Without doubt, the attraction is the castle of Matsumoto, considered a national treasure and visit more than recommended when visiting this part of Japan, if only for one hour to visit the castle.

The castle has 6 floors and is ascended by a narrow wooden stairs, who shake their legs and get some balance to the steepness of each step of the stairs. Amazing that this building is maintained despite the fragility of the materials observed inside the wood dated, and structures that are preserved while the outside looks so tough and served as a military fortress against invasion. Sorry did not last long journey and return to Tokyo from Matsumoto only took three hours. Walking distance to such contrasting impressions. Well, the story is short but it sure says a lot more pictures
