Hmm... according to Hyperdia, there are a few trains I could catch on the morning of the 20th that can take me to Shinshirakawa. Were you exaggerating before when you said that your local train comes only once an hour?

We could go to Aizu if we have time (and energy :/). Round 1 sounds cool. *__* Is that far from you? Would your boyfriend and friends be interested in doing that with us?
