Japan's Winter Wonderland

I went with my family to a hot springs resort in central Japan over Chinese New Year.

The resort, Takaragawa Onsen Osenkaku is a world class open spa, located on Osenkaku River, upstream from Tonaegawa. The resort is located in Gunma Prefecture in the northwest corner of the Kantō region on Honshu island. Its capital is Maebashi. One of only eight landlocked prefectures in Japan, Gunma is the northwestern-most prefecture of the Kantō plain. Except for the central and southeast areas, where most of the population is concentrated, it is mostly mountainous. To the north are Niigata and Fukushima prefectures, while to the east lies Tochigi. To the west lies Nagano prefecture, and Saitama is to the south.
