We broke the news to our gracious host in the morning, the plan had changed we were leaving early. He was disappointed but understood. We took the train towards Gifu with two transfers. I made a friend on the train, but he was pretty wild and offered me drugs. Ok guy though I think. The last of three trains was small, old and full of schoolkids. We got convenience store food which we ate outside of the last train, and an obasan (grandma) kindly asked us questions.

We made it to our absolutely huge house. There are about 8 different bedrooms here. We took a walk out in the town, I dropped a $5 coin in the gutter and got dirty fingers recovering it.
