It was rather disappointing to arrive at Wakakusayama just to learn that it is not open to public in winter (just found out that trails are opened only from mid-March to mid-June and from mid-September to mid-November). Being full from the dango, we shared a curry rice at a random store on the street; the people are one of the nicest and the store gave a really Japanese ambiance, something like the Namiya General Store. We met a herd of greedy deer and learned about signs that make them leave you a.k.a the nothing-on-my-hand sign. Still a lot of deer poop in sight.
