Friday through Sunday Emi and I went to Kamakochi. This is a place in the "Japanese Alps" in Nagano that is very popular for walkers and mountain climbers in the Summer.
We travelled there by 2 or 3 trains and finally a coach on the Friday.
After arriving we walked along the river that runs through the centre of the area. 
We started at the visitors centre, south down the river to the end of the area and then back again to find our hotel. On the Saturday walked up to the north part and then on the Sunday we walked back to the visitors centre and travelled home.

The views are nice as is the atmosphere. It feels very nice to be surrounded by nature when most of the time you live in a concrete jungle.
We had missjudged how long the walking would take so we ended up finishing early on Sunday so desided to travel Matsumoto and have a look around before getting the train home. The main attraction of Matusmoto is the castle that you can see in the pictures. You can travel up the castle and there is mini museum inside. However don't go on a busy day as it gets crowded inside very easily - the stairs are so narrow and steep that it takes people a long time to go up and down.
On the Monday we just relaxed to prepare for the return to work on Tuesday. Only thing I can remember doing is polishing my work shoes!
