For once I remembered to take my digital camera with me. So Sourrain cannot bug me yet again for forgetting pictures ( especially with all the yummy food pix she posts on her site!).
Transit time with two train changes was just under 3 hours-is this a great country or what? The weather was simply beautiful and the leaves were just beginning to turn. Only down side was all the traffic on the road up to the lake, which made going up to the waterfall prohibitive from a time standpoint. (It would have been a 90 minute bus ride each way with traffic……..). Since we wanted to get back to Asakusa for dinner we decided to forgo it and see the temples in detail.
Look below the fold to see some beautiful sights. Thank God I live in a country with great train service!
The famous Monkey Temple-Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.
