When we got there it was raining hard. Raining. Raining.
Then we made soba noodles! It was hard to cut them small enough. So our noodles were fat.
Later that evening we went to an onsen. It was my first onsen experience, and this particular onsen is co-ed (it's daijoobu, the water is murky and we had towels). But still, it was a very new experience. The name of the onsen is Jigoku, which means Hell. In the olden days only samurai were allowed to use it. We used the cooler pool, but before we left I put my legs in the larger pool. It was ridiculously hot! I felt like a lobster.
After Jigoku we went to another spring at the same site. It was women only, so relaxing was easier. There were beautiful maple trees all around the pool. By the time we left we smelled strongly of rotten eggs.
We then ate dinner (a barbeque: we had hot dogs, meat, carrots, eggplant, pumpkin, onion, lettuce, more meat, yakisoba, real sprite, squash, ect. You can grill anything in Japan. But grilled lettuce is pretty good) and watched some good Japanese TV. Whoa, people are really weird.
