Arrived at ryokan in Echigo-Yuzawa

We have arrived at Shosenkaku Kagetsu, the ryokan where we will spend the night.

It's located in Yuzawa, a small ski resort in the Japanese alp. It's however off season, which doesn't matter much to us since we are here for the hot baths.

The ryoakan has both public and private baths. Most baths in Japan are single sex nude baths, so booking a private bath might be your only option if you are a couple and want to bath together.

Going to Onsen in Echigo-Yuzawa

We are once again on the move. We are now leaving Kanazawa, and are heading to Echigo-Yuzawa where we will spend the night on a Ryokan again. This one has a natural hot spring bath. Such baths are called Onsen in Japan.

It might be hard to track where we have been so far, and I have therefore created a map from data extracted from the phone:
