I've been meaning to post this photo for a while and considering it's a Friday you all deserve a treat!!
Family version of a photo of Darin and Tyler at the men's rotenburo at Maguse Onsen in Nagano. You actually couldn't really see anything except for a bit of flank. You might be able to see something if you look really closely at the guy actually in the hot springs!!
An amazing view that's for sure. Darin tells me that his view in this photo was even more amazing. Please note an old Japanese guy offered to take this photo of Darin and Tyler and he was also naked and kinda squatting when taking the photo. TMI?
On a completely unrelated topic, there is a yarn sale on at Mitsubaya in Tokyo for all you local knitters. It's basically 20% off all yarn including some Rowan. The sale is on until the end of February. I picked up some tweed regia to make a pair of socks for my host mum in Aomori. I'll be there next weekend. Snow here I come.
Have a great weekend!!
how come the other dude doesn't get a pink star? I guess there's nothing to see

so tyler-nancy-boy finally stopped being a total wimp about his semi-nude? now I see the pic I can't understand what he was worried about! it's a beautiful place and a pic totally worth sharing, with or without pink stars over flanks... thanks for posting it and thanks to tyler for finally letting you.
poo, i wish i had been able to go with you, it looks like a great place.

I enjoy reading blogs about Japan as I just spent 4 years there...no offence, but all the blogs seem to be written by people who are married or couples...it's so boring!!!

ok...next time you head to an onsen, martine, let one of the old ladies take your picture and then post it on your blog. how many stars would you need?

I wonder if Asian guys would even dare do this--not just getting naked into a public springs, but having their photograph taken as well (with or without the stars)! *LOL*

argh! if only i had known! then again i spent 21000 yen on needles and some other knick-knacks already so maybe not knowing there was a sale at a tokyo yarn shop was for the best.
also went to hakkonen and spent a night at a ryokan (with a hot bath OUTSIDE overlooking the mountains!).
can't wait to go back.
