We went for a family trip
.

.
.
Car trip, 3~4 hours all the way to Kusatsu Onsen Resort 

One of the most famous hot spring’s resort in Japan

And this trip was for Mother’s day

Had a walk around this big hot spring water field located in the center of Kusatsu.
This field is the main source where the hot spring water degree got adjusted before being conducted to every each of the Onsen Inn in Kusatsu

We were just the right timing to be able to watch this team dancing @ Nettou Yumomi Dance Contest 熱湯湯もみダンス選手権 in 草津温泉!! The Shyurai dance　襲雷舞!
Very impactful, full of energy, and damn cool!
.
.
.
.
.
Time for a little noon-nap in our Ryokan, Nushiyu Ryokan ぬ志勇旅館　
.
.

.

While Little-big-boss was having his nap,
we, Yappi and I went for our st bath in the onsen of the day on the “private family onsen”
.
.
.
.
.
When we are back, Little-big-boss was up 
Playing “hai~, cheeeeezu” camera with a bottle-cap opener
.
.
.
.
.
Before dinner, we had our  nd bath in the onsen of the day~
with Little-big-boss and grandma along this time in the public open-aired onsen

Little-big-boss followed mommy to the women onsen, so daddy was alone

A quick bath followed by..

A DINNER-time~!
Our ryokan gorgeous dinner set

The man that only favors in eating the chawan-muchi (Japanese-style steamed egg)

  and the fruits that night

After the king-like cuisine dinner , we went back to our room, had a rest, changed to yukata
and head off to our rd bath in the onsen of the day~

My little sexy man

The hot spring water in Kusatsu is another wonder of nature!
You can really feel the quality of the hot water here, which are so soft and silky  

Though the open-aired onsen was a public onsen, somehow we were always there just by ourselves

.
.
.
.
.
The next morning, we went for our th bath in the onsen
before we had our breakfast at 7:30 am!

The breakfast

The man that favors only the half-boiled egg and some rice that morning

The son-in-law and mom-in-law

After breakfast,
It was time to pack..

Though time was running fast,

we had real fun

Hope mom enjoyed this trip as much

Last post: Sakura, the early blooming.

It was the FULL BLOSSOM~
at Tamagawa riverside

O-hanami (お花見)- 2nd round

This round we were just here unplanned
It was just because of this riverside is so near,
and it was just because the weather was too good to be missed

Hard to say goodbye

Yes, it was hard to leave the Sakura saying goodbye at the end of the day..

But this little guy even more..

Hard to leave wherever there is a play-time..
(Been asking him to go home, and he still kept playing on this slope leaving us the last to go off..)
