Day 55
Takayama -> Hiruga Highlands
Distance:92km
Zazen at Zennoji temple this morning, then off to the Shokawa Valley, one of Japan's hidden valleys. Once a refuge for defeated clans, its inaccessibility kept out the rampant development that left much of Japan ugly, and earnt it a World Heritage listing. Unfortunately today it kept us out as well. With all the passes closed, we rode to the somewhat rundown ski town of Hiruga Kogen instead, and rolled out our sleeping mats in a small local shrine.
A roof for the night
