NOVEMBER, 2013: JAPAN IV (YUDANAKA III)
Read More1 / 54
Mr. Yamoto, the owner of the Shimaya Ryokan (where we stayed) took us to the trail head. He would also come to pick us up any time we called him. Tremendous customer service. I asked him how long he had owned Shimaya. He smiled and said "6 generations." When I mentioned this to a Japanese American fellow (who speaks Japanese), he (the Japanese American fellow) told me that the name Yamoto means "hot spring."
