Onsens...


are definitely one of the best things about Japan... we're on the road now, making full use of our JR rail passes. Left Kawagoe 2 nights ago... went through Kamikochi, Nagano in the Japan Alps (where we jumped in the Onsen after a nice hike... and after a morning trail run that featured monkeys, climbers, and "hikers" in high heels).

Just imagine... after a long backpacking, climbing, ski, kayak, etc... trip hopping into an onsen for an hour as the aches in your back melt away in a natural outdoor hot spring... that is clean, cheap, and located everywhere... in fact more than any other country in the world.
