Kinosaki Onsen- August 6-7, 2007
Kinosaki is a small town on the Japan Sea side of Japan that is famous for its seven onsens (hotsprings). After dressing up in our yukatas (summer kimonos) for dinner, we then hit the town to enjoy the hotsprings, a local matsuri (festival) and a firework show. Luke and Chris loved the hotsprings (too hot for Michael). Chris visted one after dinner and two more before breakfast!
