After the morning excursion, I was honestly not so eager to travel on to another hotel. It felt most tedious and unnecessary.  But, I took a deep breath and took three different subway trains to the north of Tokyo.  Five minutes from the last subway was Andon Ryokan.  So very nice place. 
 Immediately when I came in, I felt it was worth the trip there and 
while I filled out the mandatory form I was offered some green iced tea 
and sugared black beans, which tasted better than they look. 
 I got a small room without bathroom, in classic Ryokan style.  Very private with a welcome note and small folded paper swan on the pillow. 
As a traditional raykan, Andon have a bath, but in a modern version.  There was a free private time slot when I arrived, so it was a perfect way to collect energy! 
 After the bath, I rented a bike and went down town ...
