So geography lesson?

The onsen here is superb! overlooking the mountains, accompanying by sound of flowing streams ... ultimate relaxation.

You can always trust the Japanese to be immaculate in all the things they do:

spotted a crane in my walk by the river ...


Must try at Ureshino - onsen tofu. Wonderful stuff really.
