On the way back from the monkeys we took the same one-track train out of Yudanaka. Once again, the station agent had to work the ticket machine for us. Getting close to Nagano a group of schoolkids boarded the train: we were stared at for a few minutes, then quickly forgotten.
Also seen: agricultural burning which, together with what I assume were inversion conditions, really cut down on visibility in and around Matsumoto. Maybe spring or summer would be better for mountain-viewing?
