Kaikake Onsen in the heavy snow

Today, Brompton and I went to the Kaikake Onsen hot spring in Echigoyuzawa of Niigata prefecture for a day trip through blizzard.


Echigoyuzawa is famous place for the novel "Yukiguni" meaning "Snow Land" written by Yasunari Kawabata.


I took a bus to the nearest bus stop to Kaikake Onsen.

Then I started Brompton toward the secret spring in the snow country.

Finally the lodge was seen in the heap of big snow.

Freezing! Let's being soaked in the hot spring!

The open air bath here is marvelous.

It was a wonderful experience of bathing in the snow!
