I made a round trip to Happo, Matsumoto and Kyoto. By coincidence I met competitors who I know since the Winter Universiade. They were training in the slopes for ladies downhill Olympics of Nagano.

I spend the day in Happo together with two Japanese who later toke me with their car to Matsumoto, see left picture. During the day in Matsumoto I visit the Castle, right picture.

In Kyoto I looked around Kyoto and stayed the night at a true ryokan, a Hotel in traditional Japanese style with wall of rice and bed on the floor. In picture below you can see me in the front of the Golden pavilion.
