Are you a quiet mountain/regional person, skier, or city person…or all of the above?

I made the mistake this time by spending too much time in the city which did not suit me…love Tokyo or Osaka for 2-3 nights but I get exhausted for any longer.

The countryside is insanely beautiful. If you are into skiing, it has some of the best in the world.

I am currently in Takayama which has a stunning ‘old town’ and plenty of the famous Hida beef. Also check out the Nakasendo trail for the amazing historical route.
