Temple and Youth Hostel
We go by Shinkansen, (fast train) to a Buddhist Temple. This is a big place, with lots of photography and art. It is very quiet until a large family with lots of kids registers and they seem to be awake until late. We enjoy seeing the town, the next day, but really don't see much of anyone else. This was Takayama. There is a gorgeous library and I meet the librarian, who has spent time in Edmonton. I take pictures and get a great brochure. This place has a museum upstairs and story times for all ages. The folk museum here, is great but no English and very cold. We get an idea of what it must have been like, long ago, with no central heating.
