Kaida Kogen

We took a detour from the Nakasendo to visit Kaida Kogen. There is a bus that goes from Kiso Fukushima to Kaida Kogen with stops along the way, including a stop at the Kaida farm. We took the 10:43 am bus and arrived at Kaida farm at 11:16 to have lunch and see the Kiso horses. Cost of the ride was Y200.

Lunch stop

Hot soba noodles--Y1200

Tonkatsu--Y1100

Kiso horses--a breed that is indigenous to Japan.

After seeing the Kiso horses, we took the 1:16 pm bus to Kaida Kogen, arriving at 1:22 pm.

At the bus station, we found our way over the pass to the Kaida Plateau. An hour and a half later, we arrived at Yamaka no Yu, our ryokan for the night. It started to drizzle.
