There was a ton of new snow and it snowed all day.
There was a beautiful frozen waterfall.
We remembered how fun it is to play in the snow.
After about 6 hours of tramping along in the snow, we went to the most beautiful onsen we've experienced yet. It was an outdoor pool with milky water and the snow was falling. It felt like a quintessential Japan experience. To top it all off, John sat next to a guy sporting fantastic yakuza tattoos. (This is pretty much the equivalent of a geisha/maiko sighting.)
How utterly beautiful. I am so envious. Your photos of the show covered woods are stunning. Pure magic.
ReplyDeleteYeah, they like their nature pure here. They take it pretty seriously. Although, it was a nature park type place. Maybe Theodore Wirth Park or something for you? We rented the snowshoes for about $12 for the day.
