Tour de Takayama

After gaining some confidence riding around Kyoto, Em thought it would be a good idea to ride around Takayama.  So we hired a single geared bike and headed for the biggest hill we could find.

Em breaking away from the peloton.

We explored the old district of Takayama before riding around the temple district of Higashimaya (based on the Kyoto temple district of the same name) and then back again.
After a long day in the saddle, we relaxed in the private, open air onsen on the top floor of our hotel.

mmmmmm.... onsen....
