After having bathing several times both in the common onsen and in the hot tub at our balcony we checked out at 11 am. First stop on our way to Yamaguchi city was Mine and a 1 km long limestone cave, or rather an underground river. Beautiful and interesting. The “master” limestone in the cave was a 15 meters pillar that has taken more than 100000 years for mother earth to create.
After our hour and a half long stop in Mine we continued to Yamaguchi city for our stay at the Kokian ryokan. We had some trouble finding it but after some food at a McDonald’s we finally got the address and navigator right.
The afternoon and evening we spent in our own pool and hot tub. Well, we did some reading and eating too, but mostly our bodies were submerged in hot water.
Must have been a neat experience visiting the limestone cave. I remember when I went down Falu Koppargruva and it was quite nice. 🙂
Love the bath tub / pool pic ha, ha.
The limestone cave was really nice and a comfortable 18 degrees compared to the 35 or so degrees outside. Shot the pool pics with my GoPro camera, which I bought when I went to Niseko for snowboarding earlier this year… Snowboarding seems like a long time ago though when you have 30+ degrees almost every day 🙂
