1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #523 - Kusatsu Onsen, Gunma prefecture

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #523

- Kusatsu Onsen, Gunma prefecture, Japan
 
 
(Kusatsu Onsen is one of the top 3 onsens in Japan. It boast the highest volume of hot flowing spring water running through it, with a high sulpgur content, thus its health value. On this cold morning at -2C, the steam created a beautiful mist around the town area, and with thick snow still covering the rooftops, it makes for a lovely feeling all around it. A local theatre here put up a short musical show to tell the story of how the hot water is cooled down to useable temperature by striking it with wooden planks - nicely performed)
