Being from New England we are used to snow and have been expiring lot's of it this season or at least we think we are.
Yesterday I arrived in Yonezawa Japan. Yonezawa is approximately 250 miles North West of Tokyo. When we got off the Tsubsa (the famous bullet train) we saw snow, so much snow.
Yonezawa as I understand it is in the older part of Japan. Some of the things this area of Japan is know for is the samurai village, Yonezawa beef and the hot springs.
From this video I recorded yesterday you can see snow and lots of it and how Yonezawa is using the hot springs to their advantage.
Being a hearty New Englander I can handle this. After all it's only snow!
A way following the hot spring which there is in the Japanese heart of a mountain.
The name of the hot spring says ubayu.
There is it in Yonezawa-city of Yamagata.
Meters above the sea level 1,300 meters.
The hot spring was discovered in 1533.
The then people appeared more than four days till they arrived at the hot spring.
Because there are not relations with the fireworks, it is a picture with the possibility to delete.
