Fresh snow on our outdoor bath

夕べは雪が降っていていましたので、私が作った露天風呂に入りました。暖かくて気持ち良い上山田温泉のお湯に入りながら、雪が顔にちらちらと降りました。是が日本の温泉文化だなと思いました。
今朝に起きたら、雪の降った後の露天風呂の写真を撮りました。
It snowed last night, and I took a bath in our 'rotenburo' outdoor bath that I hand-made. While soaking in the warm and relaxing Kamiyamada Onsen mineral water, the snow flakes gently fell on my face. This is Japan's onsen culture!
This morning when I woke up, I took this picture of the bath with the freshly fallen snow.

デビトさんの講演

On Friday evening, March 21st, Kamesei Ryokan will be pleased to host 'An Evening with Arudou Debito'. This is the man who gained notoriety for taking a bathhouse in Otaru to court for its racially discriminating 'Japanese Only' policy. He is the author of several books, and a regular contributor to the Japan Times (from where I got to be familiar with him). Debito-san will tour around Japan promoting his new book, 'Handbook for Immigrants to Japan', and has kindly agreed to come here to Nagano. Details as per the brochure to the left.
