After breakfast (which was a lot of fish and other things I couldn't identify) we were given a small amount of free time.
We went exploring and saw a fantastic Japanese shrine with incredible gates and statues. After that was the source of the onsen hot water, the hot springs themselves. The very ground around us was boiling and smelled like sulfur. Towards the end of our walk we found a stand selling eggs that were hard boiled by the steam, I had two and they were the best hard boiled eggs I've ever had.

ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures. What an interesting experience you must be having. I was in Osaka in January this year. I find Japan very interesting and a little frustrating, becasue I don't speak Japan. It is beautiful, though. Good luck with the language and everything else. How long have you been there already? How much longer will you stay?
ReplyDeleteI'm doing a student exchange from the end of March until August. I understand your frustration with the language, I am dealing with that myself. But it is wonderful when you make friends with people who want to help you. I don't think I would be doing so well if we only came here for a vacation.
