Day 5: Lake Chuzen and Kegon Falls
... store that we passed in the onsen town hoping to find some "I love Japan" sweaters or anything that could keep us warm. Even if it was a yukata i would not hesitate to put it on and prance around town in it. We were at the point where we would pay anything or do anything for a sweater...I mean anything.
