Day 50

Matsumoto -> Sawando Onsen
Distance:56km
Climbed to the top of graceful old Matsumoto-jo, the oldest intact castle in Japan, and wandered thru the museum nextdoor. Then began our climb up into the Japanese Alps, and our entry into tunnel hell. If you've never cycled through a tunnel its hard to appreciate how deafeningly loud and how ghoulishly long (many km) dark and narrow they can be. Tonight we made it to the little onsen town of Sawando, and are camped right next to a big free foot spa.
