It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks. And if you have a guide, 
start asking bloody detailed questions - you might as well. Last weekend 
I went through Nigatsudo in Nara (city) for (I think at least) the 28th 
time, and after a lovely lunch (where would we be without beer?) waded 
through the stream to the magaibutsu near Muroji for about the 
30th-something. Every single time, I notice shitloads of new stuff that 
had escaped my attention before. Even for what with the magaibutsu is 
basically just an outline carved into a cliff.

But is there anything else to see? I spent two nights in Seattle 
(Redmond to be more exact) on a business trip. Had a day off waiting for 
my flight back to Nagoya - what the hell was there otherwise to see?
