The long and winding road that leads past my most distant kindergarten and north into more mountains will also take you to two future destinations of mine. I'm guessing both are about twenty or thirty minutes past my school, but with so much uncharted territory (uncharted for me, that is), I can't be too sure. One of the destinations is a museum dedicated to the Mino-Owari Earthquake, the largest known inland earthquake in Japan. The other is an "onsen", or hot spring bath, though that three word description fails to convey how rich of an experience it is. I'm hoping there will still be some snow on the mountains when I go, though the simple fact that the onsen is in the mountains almost assures a great view. I'm hoping this next Saturday to head up there, but plans can always change. Either way, I'm hoping it'll make for a good day trip. There are Santa Cruz-like trees and mountains around there, so I may find a few reasons to hang around longer.
Interestingly enough, despite being about 45 minutes or an hour away, those places are still part of this city. I think that must be why a lot of emphasis is put on which ward or town you things are in.
