Yesterday's post about our visit to Gokayama\nVillage<\/a> in Toyama Prefecture, Japan, ended with us about to stop in a\ncafe<\/span> for lunch.<\/p>\n\n

Inside, the soba was the best I'd ever had... the soup was just\namazing.<\/p>\n\n

The house was also amazing, with the same no-fastener construction seen\non the outside of the houses in my introduction to Gokayama\npost<\/a>. Here's part of the ceiling near our table, with straw stuffed in\ncrevices as insulation...<\/p>\n\n

Inside it looked more like someone's messy house than a cafe,<\/span> because it\nwas both, but apparently more of the former than the latter. Here's a view<\/span>\nfrom the opposite corner, with our table just out of frame...<\/p>\n\n

Notice how tall the ceiling is... the doors, about six feet tall, aren't\neven halfway up the wall, so the ceilings are about 14 feet up.<\/p>\n\n

Those not familiar with Japanese architecture may wonder what the\nfloor-to-ceiling beam in the left half of the frame is for. I'll leave that\nas a quiz,<\/span> though entry is limited to people whose name is not “Peter in\nWales”. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n
