Japanese Alps

Currently lying on the floor at the hotel - 'in bed' on a futon. A and I opted for the Japanese style room for our bed and breakfast (and dinner!) stay in the mountains. The weather has been less than ideal, with not a minutes break in the pouring rain today, but our trip has still managed to be enjoyable. This afternoon we found a good indoor attraction by the name of Ninja-kami; a temple that was actually an undercover trap and secret passage filled fortress. (the 'ninja' name is more of a modern alias) Most impressive about the structure was at the time it was built, the maximum legal number of floors in a building was three - while it looked like that was the case from the outside, there were actually seven floors/layers inside!
