Day 9 &10 : Gifu Prefecture + Shin Hotaka Ropeway Itinerary
#Japan #JapanTravel #Osaka #Kyoto #tokyo #Takayama #ShinHotaka #MtFuji #koyasan #LakeKawaguchiko 6:07 PM
My boyfriend and I travelled for like 6-7hrs from Lake
Kawaguchiko > Shinagawa Station via Bus then Shinagawa Station > Takayama
Station via JR, arrived at Takayama around 5PM, which set us back with my
initial itinerary. After resting for few minutes we decided to walk around the
old town and find something to eat to satisfy our hungry tummies. We happen to
pass by a nice restaurant with enticing food presentation, so we gave it a try
and yeah it was the best decision we made that day. 😁 The food was delicious
and we loved their Japanese Red Wine! My boyfriend actually ended up going to
the winery after few days and bought couple bottles of this wine, which we will
indulge SOON.😍
