From Okayama to Okaya in Nagano prefecture. Then on to a day trip to Nagano City.
From outside the train station, caught a bus to the ancient battlefield of Kawa-naka-jima, site of one of the
most famous battles during the Warring States period.The day was also the Obon holiday, where people visit ancestors' grave to spruce it up and make offering.
Judging from the old folks at the stations with flower offering, it seems, similar to in Singapore, it is an "old-folk" festival.
