Collection 09

Onsen

Real hot springs: a cave spring, a geyser and a town of more than 500 sources.

The tub at the house is heated tap water. For the real thing, we go into town: Atami has bathed shoguns since 1604.

Hakone days

Owakudani, Lake Ashi and the Open-Air Museum, or the ridge above them.

Hakone is next door, about forty-five minutes away. We take the classic loop on Hakone's own trains, ropeway and boats, or climb above it.
