Its now the 24th and I will leave for the Nagano area. The Japanese alps. Will have to leave Hokkaido unspoilt ! but this area deserves a longer trip and I will end up on the train too much. So off I will go in search of Nature.
I have returned to Kyoto to go to the theater here, and I was glad I did. I got something from it. Will try to go to more of these cultural things. There were various parts and it was for tourists but it was also good. There was music dance and puppetry which was very clever, three guys in black against a black background manipulate a puppet to great effect.
