Day 53
Takayama
Distance:37km
First bus back to Hirayu Onsen, then tried for an hour to hitch up to the high pass where my bike was stranded, as steam rose from the gutters and in the street men played flute and boys danced as dragons. Finally got a ride, fixed the flat and got back to Takayama for lunch. Walked in the rain all afternoon among old temples, shrines and Edo-period houses of this city that is like a time machine. I've seen no other place in Japan that's preserved so much of its past.
