Japan 2019: Spring Break – Day 5 – 7

Posted on by james

We take a little side trip to the town of Ito. We are staying at a Ryokan (Traditional) Onsen. Onsen hotels feature hot baths and your stay comes with a very elaborate and delicious dinner and breakfast. Here we relax in the hot baths and then enjoy the meals. The first two days were overcast and rainy so we stayed in most of the time. On the last day it was finally sunny and we were able to walk around the town of Ito. We were even able to see some Sakura trees beginning to bloom along the river.

Spread through out the town center are these small stations featuring
Japanese Buddhist/Shinto deities.

Tall buildings line both sides of the river with trees along the banks.
