Our Inns

We have mostly stayed in traditional Inns. This may not be the norm - we just don't know. Our room in Kyoto was like a budget hotel but since then You take your shoes off at the hotel entrance or your room vestibule. Tonight's room becomes a bedroom after dinner when staff will roll out the futons. Rooms often have a little Annex with chairs and a tea service plus windows to a garden. We will bathe, dress in robes (a yukata) and go down for a drink with our group. I'll have a draft beer (Asahi) and Clare will have a plum wine with soda water. If I order a bottle beer I get a 650ml bottle and an 80ml glass.



A bit about toilet training. We almost need Google translate to make a visit.
The seats are heated. Most preload when you sit down. Most flush when you stand up. There are bidet controls with different streams, temperature and pressure. All are push button control in Japanese. Thankfully there are symbols😀

Finland

Arriving early on a Sunday morning is always challenging. Train from airport to Helsinki then ... rubbish everywhere  ... After Saturday night!  Harbour cruise and open top boat in Summer  We picked up our car and drove through so much forest...pine and silver birch...wood and paper are a major export. Everywhere we stopped there were beautiful lakes. Old preserved wooden buildings in Rauma, charming river walks in Turku and beaches at Hanko with no-one on them. Finland felt relaxed and unhurried.

Kyoto and Nakasendo Way

Image
 We caught the bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto. The train way amazingly quick and quiet. The exact opposite of Tokyo Train station. Luckily we had an hour to find the right entrance platform and seat. We needed it!! Kyoto is a large grey city which seems to go on for ever in both directions along the coast. Inland it quickly changes to rolling wooded hills with no buildings at all. The food is very very different. Seafood, meat and fried food abounds in the cafes, many of which are one table wide heading deep into the building. In the more traditional eating places fungi, meat, tofu, rice, tempura, miso and pickled vegetables.
