Many stores and restaurants, museums were closed.
People have traditional food at home, some people go back to their hometown to spend a couple days with family.
Some people go to shrines.
I was worried about dinner, I didn't want to miss my first dinner in 2014.... so I made a reservation for dinner at pension where I stayed.
OK, one problem was solved.
But another problem was... where should I go?
I went to the shrine on New Year's Eve.
Museums might not be open for today.
Train? No holidays for train!
I decided to go to Hida Furukawa by local train.
 |
| local JR train, takayama honsen. |
Hida Furukawa is a small, old town like Takayama.
It is only 16 minutes from Takayama by JR Takayama honsen.
I'm always happy to take a train... especially local train, it's amazing!
I thought it was a nice, small trip.
So, why not?
