Yesterday morning, we went to Takigawa Koi Farm, where Darren chose some Tosai. After lunch, we hit the road and headed off for Matsue. However, yesterday morning, it started snowing at Takigawa-san's as you can see from the first photo. Takigawa-san reckoned the drive to Matsue would be ok, but I guess he didn't realise what my favourite route would be for this journey ;-) What started out as a very nice drive, slowly turned into one that made me more and more nervous. Now, I love driving, and I love to take scenic routes, but what started out as a little snow on the road, quickly turned into a drive through the snow (without snow tyres) where there clearly hadn't been any other drivers since the snow started. Some of these roads are very twisty, with sheer drops on the side of the road! Anyway, arrived at Matsue for a brief look around, before heading off to the hotel, and then out for dinner with Iitsuka-san. Unfortunately, there was nothing for me at Takigawa this time, so will be going back there later on.
