別所温泉

こんいちは!
Well its about time for another blog entry. Yesterday I took the local train to the end and visited Bessho-onsen(別所温泉) region of Ueda city(上田市).
It felt like a completely different town. The roads, the atmosphere... all different. This area is an even more rural area than where I live! All the houses are in the traditional Japanese architechture and there were many temples/shrines.
I managed to visit three temples and two shrines stretched across the region.
One shrine I completely missed and kept walking until I found a sign that told me I'm on some hiking trail that stretches for 17.5km (It's a good thing I found the sign, or I would have kept walking)!
Anyway, it was a very scenic day and scenic days means many pictures!

(When I get home, I'll pull up some info on the shrines and temples I visted and post the info here.)
