Day 51

Sawando Onsen -> Kamikochi Highlands
Distance:17km
More tunnels and longer and steeper. Then out of pergatory and into the daylight and the alpine spectacle of the Kamikochi Highlands. Giving our knees no quarter, we got off the bikes and hiked further up into the mountains with Kim from Montreal for sweeping views and a well-earned siesta. Then back down to the bikes for dinner of soba and mountain vegetables, and a small picnic ground to camp in, surrounded by Japan's loftiest peaks.
