		So for the next 5 hours, we wandered around random villages in and around Omihachiman, looking at houses built in the traditional style.
		Some of the villages had existed since medieval times, but since most of the houses were modern (or at the very least, built within the last couple hundred years), its impact was less than impressive.
		The best part of the trip was walking along a canal in Omihachiman, which had very picturesque bridges going across it.
