Onsen!

These are some onsens that I have been to lately.

Shohaku
This one is in an amazing ryokan (traditional-style inn) that the lovely Anne took me to. The pictures don't do it justice really, and it was snowing outside when I went. Great view of the river with snow coming down. And after snowboarding too!

Architecture in Tokyo

There are some pockets of Tokyo around Omotesando ("the Japanese Champs Elysees") with really cool architecture. Its awesome to wander through the steep, narrow streets and stumble upon these striking designs, especially on a clear winter day.
