Day 45
Yudanaka -> NaganoDistance:50km
The day began with wild snow monkeys soaking in a mountain onsen. If you've seen Baraka, then you know the ones I mean. (If you haven't seen it, you really should!) Then down to the small town of Obuse for lunch and a dose of old-world charm. The bubbly Chinese lady who ran the ramen shop we ate at insisted on giving us some "juice money" to help us out on the trip, and to pay for our entry to the local temple - Gansho-in - famous for its big and beautiful ceiling, painted by the famous Edo-period artist Hokusai. In the evening we rode into Nagano city and met up with Erica, another amazingly generous couch-surfing host, who filled us up with her great food and company.
