A Short Visit to Magome

On our recent trip southward, we stopped by the Nakasendo post town of Magome, a well known tourist sight in Gifu prefecture. The whole touristy area of town seems to be built on a 30 - 45 degree incline, so walking through it on a day when the temperature was over 35 degrees celsius wasn't out favorite thing, but the little town is picturesque and beautiful.



One of the things we noticed were the lovely little old houses, genuine issue unlike other places we have been that have replicas of funtional houses from yesteryear. Many had shops inside or were guesthouses of sorts. Some offered drinks or snacks while others were more proper styled restaurants.

The view at the top was gorgeous and I would have taken a nice long video of it if I hadn't been interrupted by a group of noisy American tourists, one of whom insinuated that I was a grandmother as we walked away. Why are some people from my home country so aggressively rude?
