Start of the Kiso Valley Section

What a great day !  Two of the most well preserved post towns on the menu...Magome and Tsumago.
Started the day from Shinchays with a steep climb into Magome post town which is built on a hillside.  Not a long climb, just enough to work up a sweat.

Arrived at Magome post town. Start of a climb up and through town.
Also the start of Kiso Valley

Top of the pass. Ben has shown to be a very knowledgeable young man...from history to rice making process and everything inbetween, though a bit long winded at times...times like when I gotta go...
Doesn't he see me squirming and squeezing.
