This was a long day, we had to get up early to catch a 06:48 Hikari from Kyoto to Nagoya (mostly because JR sucks, the 07:12 Nozomi would have been just fine, and honestly that was my real target, it's just because we ended up too early that we actually caught that slower Hikari, so called "bullet train"). After a change in Nagoya, we took the Shinano Express train to Nakatsugawa. From there we took a taxi to Magome, a quaint little town in the Kiso Valley where our hike started.
finally arrived in Tsumago after being dropped off by our cab (there were busses but they would have taken too long)
I found this little guy on the ground , turns out it could fly fine
we stopped for hot tea on the route
you're supposed to ring the bell to scare the bears away
