Snow monkeys, rotemburo and a rather pleasant meal
... was the god of smokers and those who are tring to give up.
Much of Nagano-ken seems to be taken up by orchards with huge apples,which the locals are just beginning to harvest.
Getting dark we headed back to our Ryokan where the hostess had arranged for us to have a "rotemburo" (open air bath). We thought that this would be nearby, but instead they ran us up a local mountain to a resort where we ...

Ski Heil und Badehaus in den japanischen Alpen
... die Skifahr-Tradition - die kommt wohl aus Österreich. Vor langer langer Zeit soll wohl mal ein Österreicher hier den Japanern das Skifahren beigebracht haben und demzufolge verbinden viele Einheimische das Skifahren mit den Deutschen, wie wir das Origami und auch Sushi mit den Japanern verbinden. more stories on ...
