Today was another day of sitting. Sitting on the shinkansen, sitting on a bus, and finally getting to Kurosawa Onsen.<\/p>\n

I made it to Kurosawa Onsen and the place I’m staying didn’t send a van to pick up my baggage. Everyone else was wandering around until the “set Japanese onsen opening time” of 3PM and I was the only clown wheeling around his suitcase. That didn’t stop me from eating some nice Japanese treats.<\/p>\n

I also had a cream puff because the place was so highly rated on tripadvisor.<\/p>\n

Turns out the place I\u2019m staying isn\u2019t even in Kurosawa Onsen, but somewhere nearby in Oguni. They have two men\u2019s baths (one exposed to the outside), one women\u2019s bath, and three separate \u201cfamily baths\u201d where you lock the door and you don\u2019t have to expose yourself to the masses. It\u2019s quite different than any other onsen I\u2019ve been to in the past, and the dinner, while quite tasty, wasn\u2019t the festival of gluttony I usually experience. The portions were small and that\u2019s probably for the best.<\/p>\n

In any case, my jet lag is getting to me again. I wasn\u2019t able to sleep much past 4AM (started reading a book at 4:30AM) and now I\u2019m trying to keep my eyes open. And now I see I forgot to take a picture of the raw horse meat, the specialty of the area!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
