Trip to Kusatsu

Managing to take days off in a row for the first time in three months, I took a trip with my family to Kusatsu, which is famous for its hot springs. When I got there, the entire town was in snow flurries and I smelled sulfur. The atmosphere was good enough to be in a traditional place which people used to visit for a therapeutic bath.

I enjoyed talking with my family over beer and sake after soaking in a hot spring, which made me more laid-back.


The Yumomi Show - Yumomi was originally done to lower the temperature of hot springs in Kusatsu.


Yubatake - literally means "a hot spring field".
