I am very grateful to receive many emails asking about onsen! Hope that the info finds you helpful.
I hope there's a better and efficient way to deliver onsen info in English. My dream is to publish an onsen guide book in English:) In the meantime, I wish each of you much health and happiness in
2010!
I have been blogging for almost 4 years now(as of January 2010). I hope to continue traveling and blogging about great onsens in Japan. I have created a "pay now" button which will support my onsen blogging. It will be a 100 yen(about US$1) support. Of course, no pressure;) Thank you very much for stopping by and thank you for all the support!
