I visited “Yonago ” in Tottori prefecture.
It is a very quiet town.
However, you can visit 25 minuts by train (Minato Liner) to visit “KITARO ROAD” that is street with a lot of Japanese Famous Monster Monuments.

You can also visit Tottori Sakyu (Tottori Sand Beach) by train.
It takes about an hour by train.

Yonago is a very quiet Town. I stayef in the “Washington Hotei”.
This Hotel is a very clean hotel, and cheep.

Also I stayed at the Super Hotel. This hotel is very environmental-kind hotel. Also very cheep, too.

It is less than 6,000yen per night.

Room size is large enough for one person.

I would have visited “Daisen” a mountain that looks like Mt. Fuji.

Because of that this mountain is often referred as “Houki Fuji”
since this area used to be called “Houki Town.

“Daisen” is rated as 3rd beautiful mountain
after Mt. Fuji and “Yarigatake” in Nagano prefecture.

Daisen is also designated as a National Park.
There are various rare plants.
You can take a buss from the Yonago Station.
It takes about 50 minutes by buss and 30 minutes by taxi.

Today’s Takayama is warm 12 ℃。

Takayama is a town with a lot of Sake Makers.
Many old houses are preserved like old time.

No more snow now.

Takayama in snow is beautifu ,but without snow is easier to walk around.

If you visit Nagoya, you may not to worry about the transportation.

We have variety of ways.

Within Nagoya city you can use the subway to go to most of the places you want to go.

We have 4 major lines to cover almost entire Nagoya.

4 different colors mean 4 different lines.

Nagoya ‘s subway system is not as complicated
as Tokyo or Osaka.

and subway stations are kept clean.

But you should avoid commuting times like between 7:00 & 9:00 and 4:30&6:30.

Trains are extremely crowded with business people and students.

Some stations have protection gates for people not to
fall down from the platform also to avoid people to jump in.

We have many train accidents every year,
and these gates helps decreasing such incidents.

Such gates are slowly increasing.
