The weather is perfect… 20 degrees slightly cool in the morning.

There is the odd viewing spot

The traditional Japanese scenic views along the way

For Studio Ghibli fans – you should recognise this one –

Cool signs and a lunch stop

Despite the long climb the surrounds were beautiful

Reaching the top meant a ride through a 1250 meter tunnel.. not fun, but thank goodness for a footpath!!

Ah… we made it to Wajima
