Onsen, stairway to heaven and festive dinners in Japan

70 percent of the surface of Japan are mountains, on the 30 percent left live 120 million people... mostly in tiny appartements in the sky scrapers in the big cities. That's why they go in to mountains and in the so-called "Onsen", thermal baths. You can enjoy the rural and authentic Japan between Kyoto and the japanese sea, in the west of the biggest island of Honshu. You leave the airport of Ossaka and the industrial region on a highway to Kobe and then over winding streets in mountains and forests.![Yumura rote Brücke.jpg]
