Today's ride to Matsumoto, while very picturesque, is only approx. 150km to allow some extra time to enjoy morning sightseeing in Takayama. Head along mountain roads though small villages and mountain passes, detour towards Fukuji onsen and on to the Shin Hotaka Ropeway, which is highly recommended, or continue on past Kami Kochi National park and Azuza Lake to Matsumoto Castle.
