Gotemba Kogen - Winter Onsen!

You’ve heard us mention the Gotemba Kogen before – it is our favourite (and only!) local beer hall. It is a huge complex of restaurants, beer-stalls, a cheese shop, a hotel, two onsens, and a nice outdoor area for enjoying the locally brewed German beer.

Though last night was a bit too chilly to sit outdoors, we decided to drive the 10 km or so to the Kogen after work and just enjoy a hot bath and a nice dinner.

Since we rarely go out on weeknights anymore (I blame laziness!), this was a real treat. The fact that the Kogen was all lit up with their winter “Christmas” lights was just an unfortunate side-effect!
