Pour commencer, Raphaël a pris le temps de faire le point sur nos attentes par rapport à ce qu'on avait déjà vu et a réussi un tour de force : nous expliquer en une belle ballade l'histoire du Japon en y intégrant ce qu'on avait vu avant a takayama et shirakawa-go. C'était très clair et très complet. En plus on n'a pas vu le temps passé malgré des températures élevées... Un grand merci pour ce moment.
