On Saturday I took a day trip to Inuyama with Laura and Alex. We went to the Inuyama castle, the oldest extant in Japan, dating from 1537! While the castle was small, it had a great view of the Kiso river and the surrounding city. We were given a tour by a volunteer guide (in English!), which was really fantastic.
After lunch we took a bus to Meiji-mura (Meiji Village). This was an open air museum bringing together over 65 buildings from the Meiji period (1868-1912), including part of Frank Lloyd Wright's original
Tokyo Imperial Hotel. :)
