Tsumago to Nagome

We visited a wonderful little town called Tsumago. It is where preservation started here in Japan. the streets and buildings have been maintaned for over 3oo hundred years! it is so picturesque and beautiful! we hiked about 1/3rd of the way along the old cobblestone road leading to Nagome. we hope to finish it in the years to come. but for now with a 4 year old and a 6 year old we were happy to get as far as we did. there were beautiful rice fields, and rivers along the way.

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day! the boys had a great time exploring the old town, getting traditional hats, and fans, and eating stuff on a stick!
