My father and his friend visited me and we organize a little trip in the norht of Japan. First day of this trip was Zao-onsen, so they can experience by themselves hot bathes.

Departure from Tokyo station by shinkansen and arrive at Yamagata station. As soon as arrived, already something strange, a spy, or somehting like that.

And soon after the second shock, yes we are not anymore at Tokyo. In Yamagata-ken you can find this in every public toilet. This picture was taken in the station toilet. Sometimes japanese are very strange for me.

When we arrived at Zao, just first think to do is to go directely to the public bath. Very nice nature, Zao is situated in the mountain, even if some people have still problem to break bridge with the civilization ;-)

Here is the bath, very nice, no !!!

No worries, I will not put picture of my father naked in the bath, but you can ask him to show you the picture if you want.
