Nagano Shinkansen

I went to Sakudaira by Nagano Shinkansen. This train is named "Asama". It takes about 1 hour and half from Tokyo to Sakudaira. Asama ran at a maximum speed of 260km/h. Asama ride very well.

I have an old cottege in Takeshina-kogen. I got off the Sakudaira station and rend a car. And then I drove to spend a few days at my old cottege.










I visited to a farm and a waterfall named Otome-daki (means maiden waterfall).
