And I still have two unaccounted-for days in my itinerary ... hmm.
Today I had three museums on my list that were high priority. Alas, to a one each is closed:
- Idemitsu Art Museum
- Nezu Institute of Fine Arts
- Yamatane Museum of Art
Only the latter one will be open before I fly home ... it's near my hotel, which I re-booked for the last few days before my flight.
As it stands, I'm to check-out tomorrow (Thu, July 19) and check-in to a hotel in Nagaoka on Sat, July 21.
One possibility is the Takayama area in the Japanese Alps, but it takes about 4-1/2 hours to get there from Tokyo, and I have to return through Tokyo to get to Nagaoka, meaning it's another 6-1/2 hours from Takayama to Nagaoka.
What little planning I did is now totally out of whack. And the hotel in Nagaoka is very inflexible on its dates, though I may try calling again.
Another more practical alternative is Kamakura ... temples and a giant bronze Buddha, among other sights to see. But that doesn't sound as picturesque and exotic as Takayama.
About Nagaoka ... thanks for all the well-wishes and (mostly) concern. But I think it will be okay ... I can't not go.
How often I changed my place
looking for a better spot.
But could I find a better one
than Mt. Kugami? No!
