Takaragawa Onsen in Gunma

was very cold and snowy! Here's where we stayed.
Our room was on the 1st floor.

The hot springs were amazing!! There were 4 outside baths, and 3 of them
were mixed for both men and women.

Women wore towels, but they were short towels. I kept bending over and showing Shojiro how short mine was. Ha! He told me to be more "lady like," but that is difficult for me sometime.

Of course, we jumped!

The food was really good too! Here Shojiro is eating bear soup.
That's right, BEAR!! It tasted like tough beef not chicken.

This was a grilled river fish. Sho kept calling it a "liver fish." Ha! I just love Japanese 'l's and 'r's. They can be so entertaining.

Cheers!! Kanpai!!
