Our first overnight was in Narita and after an early wake up I took a walk to visit Naritasan Temple just 10 minutes from the Richmond Hotel. Incredibly peaceful.
Wishes written and hung for goodluck at the shrine.
Next stop Iiyama, Nagano via Tokyo station.
The Hokuriku line is New since 2015 and opens up this region with speedy transport.
Beautiful meal made from local produce.
Iiyama High school is classified as a Super Science High school and has some great specialised programs. We visited several classes and got the feel of this great school.
Shoes off as you enter the school.
Technology is pretty cool. From the projector the slides are also on screens in front of the students and teacher lectures from the side.
