The castle is huge and impressive. We carry our shoes with us in bags and wear slippers, which makes it very difficult to climb the six flights of narrow, steep steps! The view is worth it, and the structure of ancient cedar is simply breathtaking. After the castle tour, our new friend says goodbye and Matt and I walk the surrounding area, enjoying a display of bonsai trees. We're trying to find a beer and end up in some unusual neighborhoods, where pedestrian, bicycle and auto traffic is directed at each intersection by four police! Finally we find a nice place labeled "Salaryman's Stand", full of only men enjoying yakitori and beer, and we relax with two Asahi.Labels: japan, trips
