You may be from the North and have no problem with dealing with the winter chill of Japan. But the temperature can get low enough to make some of you shiver!
It's getting colder out, so it’s a great time to enjoy the onsen hot springs around Japan! I visited Kusatsu Town in Gunma Prefecture, known as one of the best hot spring resorts in the country.
There is something very comforting about sitting around a bubbling hot pot with friends and family. Often rich with a variety of vegetables, hot pots are also very nourishing.
As temperatures drop and days get shorter, many find themselves longing for summer ... wishing for warmer conditions, nine o’clock sunsets and hours by the pool (or beach).
