For someone who knows Japan primarily from the never ending cities it was quite interesting to see the countryside this times. Not only the 3 villages we went to were amazing but it was great to see the countless small step valleys from the bus. And the huge forests with their pine trees

Large group and only one guide, and most of the stops were self guided so I did not feel I learned anything about those places.
