Music Everyone Should Have On Their Ipod

Onsen and thoughts of spring.

After a pleasant trip on the Romance Car , including a beautiful landscape with sakura in full bloom on either side of the tracks, and I do not small Yuka-chan we expected to arrive Hakone the landscape was even more beautiful. From

terminus Hakone Yumoto we literally climbed mountains on board the Hakone Tozan line for a breathtaking journey of about half an hour.

Yukina has skipped all the car indicate continuously cherry branches, or recklessly and colorful birds flying on the track, and making a leg with hello hello to all employees of the railway as we passed greeted with a slight nod.

all'Onsen The welcome was warm as usual but discrete, now giving us the opportunity to relax with a good hot tea.

To then fly very wonderful and very warm in rotenburo pine, a large outdoor pool located and surrounded by flowering trees, reserved for the exclusive use for about 40 minutes.

In Japan all'onsen go means allowing a brief but intense moment of peace, surrounded by nature and pampered by the hot thermal waters, which have the power to really lose out again. Not to forget the excellent cuisine, full of seasonal foods and processes closely related to the particular place where there is always plenty of that at breakfast and dinner.

Yuka-chan likes to swim in the morning, when daylight is still tenuous and the room dell'onsen is all for her. The flowing water plentiful, the delicate flowers of rock that float, hot air that circulates inside cleaned by the heaviness of the city.

The ideal place to recharge in and out, a brief but intense re-examined with renewed energy to break the daily life, often full of unpleasant events from which many prefer to stay away.

Sometimes I Yuka-chan, and we look crept in and burst out laughing, thinking of how it has changed our lives over the past two years.

We come together in Japan, a country that sometimes we feel so left out sometimes, but so incredibly familiar. Is it because between our two islands actually live an incredible bond, because of gusts of salt and habits ingrained over the centuries. Maybe because we often hear foreigners in their own home.

thank our loyal readers and we will continue to read with renewed interest who tells us of Japan through their eyes, which are those of the tourists love or stressed salary man or with those who share a dream still hope be implemented. Or those who, like us, Japan is living in daily life, stripped of illusions, and perhaps in its most raw, but always happy to share with the world their findings on this small country so intricate and fascinating at the same time.

For the moment, and I'll leave you little Yuka-chan, but sweet:)

PS. This blog is back to normal and usual serenity, pace some of those who wanted the message was finally received.
