Onsen yesterday

oh


The hotsprings in our hotel on the first night. You wash and scrub, get into bath for about 10 mins (or longer), then into the plungepool.

It's been a long day.

Bad sleep last night. Nervous about the next year, didn't think I would be but it's all becoming a reality now. Had to be up very early for 6 hour and 3 train journey to this beautiful onsen town. (see pictures in post below)

The town itself is rather plain but this ryoken we are staying in is beautiful...everything about it, the service, the food (see 'Waltz of the Food'), the hot springs...I love hot springs. They make your body and mind feel amazing.

I need to get some rest now as unfortunately my vertigo still is with me.
