Why I had decided to go to those places in the first place I
don’t know, but it seemed like a good idea. Nagoya was on the way to my next stop
Tsumago anyway and didn’t seem to be a waste of time to check it out as well.
After a short train trip from Osaka I arrived in the main
city of Mid-Japan and tried to orientate myself and find the way to my
accommodation. This time I booked a Ryokan, a traditional Japanese Guesthouse
including a hot bath (since I didn’t go to any real Onsen in Japan). It was a
bit out of the way, but with help from a friendly Japanese woman I found it.
She even wanted to go back to her office and check it online, I thanked her and
declined, my map was more than sufficient. The Kyoya Ryokan is really nice and
the staffs friendly; they even speak basic English.
The Ryokan was so far the most luxury I allowed myself on
this trip. And this was only because they offered doorms for a cheap price.
When I arrived I was alone in the room and made the happy dance.
