Onsen:)

Yes, it is true that it gets cold in Japan at this time of the year, even colder than one of ordinary days in Lund. The big difference is that there is hot springs (onsen) here.

We bathed three times during an overnight trip.

Not only the bath but the food is great at "Taira no Takafusa" located at Oku-Yunishi hot springs.
