We stayed two nights at Nozawa Onsen Village in Nagano. We enjoyed skiing in day time and hot springs after skiing. There are 13 free indoor hot springs called “Soto-yu” in the village. We could go around Soto-yu and try many kinds of bath tubs. These aren't same one. Their buildings, bath tubs and kind of hot springs are different each other.
We saw a lot of foreigners in ski resort during new year vacation, but I could hardly see them in Soto-Yu hot springs… Actually, I think it is hard for them to take a bath, because there is no shower and no swim suit in Soto-Yu, they have to do a lot of rules. But I want to enjoy them “Soto-yu”, because these are special places for the feeling Japanese culture and local community.
Anyway, I want to say, thanks to my wife and my friends family, I could enjoy skiing and hot springs in Nozawa Onsen. I introduce my family and my friends skiing.
