Onsen - Hot spring!

I found these when my friend and I were heading to a hot spring.
Verrrrry long!

Yummy hot noodles for my lunch.

"Chiku tei" - Bamboo inn. 

Me with bamboo behind. 

Our room with nice view! 

I love taking a bath, especially outside one.
No sooner had I arrived at the inn than I went
to take a bath outside.

Sign to the bath. 

Outside bath - I enjoyed the beautiful autumn leaves while taking a bath. 

Beautiful waterfalls!

The colour of autumn. 

Gorgeous dinner. I was so happy with crabs - my favourite : ) !

"Don't use when it is thundering."  

Lounge where you can have free tea after bath - so scary and there was no-one...

.

Very healthy breakfast! 

It was a cloudy morning the next day, but I like the misty mountains - it is beautiful.

Beaujolais Nouveau ♪

It was an opening day of Beaujolais Nouveau ♪ last Thursday and I was invited by one of company customers to a party in Kobe. Geographically speaking, Japan is the very first country in the world that can drink the wine and many people get excited about this day every year and enjoy the night. (a bit silly, really : ) )

To be honest, I am not particularly fond of wine and couldn't taste any differences between "nouveau" and old ones. Anyways, it was nice to get out of office and meet some interesting people!

It is getting very cold in Japan and I've got to find a nice warm coat or I'll freeze to death! I"m really looking forward to going to onsen (hot spring) and take a hot bath next weekend : ) !

Shin - Kobe Station. I feel like I am coming to Kobe every week... 

Kobe International Hall. 

Kobe is a very fashionable city and even toilet looks sophisticated (I think) ! 

. 

Let's a party begins! There were around 100 people and my business card was all gone!

The life of the party.

Kikui san and Yamaguchi san - drinking woolong tea, not wine. It was very nice to meet them!  

Inao san and Kokuwano san. There were many people with uncommon family name I have never heard of. 

I took the shinkansen "Nozumi". It only takes 30 minutes between Kobe and Okayama - no time to sleep !  

They gave me a bottle as a gift - how nice! 

When I arrived at Okayama, this beautiful building welcomed me.  

新幹線！で神戸行ってきたよ♪

神戸は町が綺麗だし、ショッピングにもさいこォー！

My parents have just come back from their trip to Tamatsukuri hot spring in Shimane. This trip was a present from my brother and me to celebrate my father’s retirement and I am really glad that they both had a good time! Here are some pictures from their trip.

A beautiful Japanese garden.

Another beautiful garden.

Izumo Taishya.
