クマの頭で日本を旅する (Travelling in Japan with a Bear's head)

We left north into the mountains in a traditional ryokan to get to know real Japan through Onsen.

                    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You need to cross the bridge through the bustling mountain stream, in order to get to the hot springs. How to you by the way transparent umbrella in a bear?)

                    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Onsen Takaragawa is really magical. It is somewhat bathing, all open-air and with different temperatures of water. Lying in a hot spring in the middle of the snow in a blizzard, and next to you the mountain river rushes with a noise...

                                      The night was snowing

                                      Torn pillow of the moon,

                                      The stars of discos,

                                      On the city boulders.
