hokkaido pt IV: onsen

Jozankei, an area about an hour from Sapporo, is known for its high number of onsen, or hot spring, resorts. Onsen is basically you strip and get stark naked into a hot pool of water with complete strangers. Nothing strange about that. Some resorts are even mixed - so boys and girls in a lovely hot pot together. Ours was not.









 Snow confusing our temporal senses. Spring? Winter? Who knows?

The actual resort. No photos from inside I'm afraid (tee-hee) but it was nice. 40 degrees in the water and a shining sun above your head. Not sure I'd be excessively comfortable with a mixed one though. So shy, so shy!

That's all from Hokkaido. It's not the most exciting of places, and it would certainly be easier if you could drive around (it's huge!) as transportation isn't as convenient and developed as in our dear Tokyo. Very happy we went though, and it's always fun travelling with the bausses!

If you're on Facebook - all the good photos are there as my camera is rather quite French balcony compared to Viv's gazebo miracle machine. If not, I'll show you at some point if you're nice enough.

That shall be all for now. Ta!
