I slept so-so on the futon last night and feel asleep to the sounds of a bunch of men drinking and laughing downstairs. I felt like I was in an anime.
And tattoos be damned, I went in an onsen! A small one in the bottom of my ryokan. I went at 6am this morning when no one else was in it. It was very hot and relaxing and when I came outed tervis few minutes I was totally pink. I repacked my bag (three time already Wende!) and now I'm watching people fall asleep on the train back to Nagano.
For anyone who's ever accidentally taken the local train instead of the express, you know how I feel right now. Thank goodness for my $6/day pocket wifi. Plus side- there's a bunch of high schoolers heading to school wearing adorable outfits.
I'm heading to Matsumoto-jo (thanks, Hiro!), a beautiful black castle.And hen back to Tokyo to clean up and head to the kabuki theater.
Ok I think I'm waiting for the right rain. Some kid helped me use a machine to buy my ticket. I'm headed somewhere!
