We, Chris and I, took a 3 hour train trip to Takayama, and gradually saw more snow on the way. And arrived in the snow. And it was snowing lightly and it has been snowing lightly and heavily on and off. I’m totally excited and couldn’t wait to get out there, after checking in to the hotel at 4.30 pm . I walked into town, past a 3 tiered temple, down the main shopping street and across a small river. And I finally recognised the town. I was here in 2016 in autumn. I got another spike of excitement. I then arrived in the historic city. It’s really great to be here and to be here again. Looking forward to tomorrow.
