Goodbye Tokyo, Hello Takayama

Peering through the window of our train at Mont Fuji, we are heading towards our next destination: Takayama. There, we will stay only for one day before heading further west to Kyoto.
After wandering around the streets of Tokyo for almost five days it is with a bit of sadness that I say goodbye to the city. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the place: the energy of Shibuya, the activity of Shinjuku, the peacefulness of smaller quarters such as Higashi-Mitsubara - Connie lived there for a few month -. Moreover, I really appreciated how clean everything was. It actually is very impressive. I think it gives a good insight into the Japanese mindset. Everything they do is executed as close to perfection as it can be. It is very interesting to witness.
Now with Takayama and Kyoto next on our travel agenda, we will have a closer look at the traditional Japan.

PS: I unfortunately have not found a place to upload our pictues yet.
