The night was spent in Tsumago, in a very traditional Ryokan. Tatami mats, toilet slippers, enormous carp, futons, the whole deal… Plus air conditioning! It was very comfortable, very pleasant, the only downside being that bathing was only done in the afternoon/evening, so after a warm-humid night the wish to shower in the morning was unfulfilled. Yukata were provided so there was at least something clean and comfortable to lounge and wander.
