Always a bonus when you get the onsen all to yourself.

For all the complaints about foreigners not following rules in Japan, it always seems to be an old Japanese man who gets in the onsen without showering first.

@aizuyabanjin.bsky.social I'm finally reading Street Level Superstar which you recommended. Two thoughts so far: Lawrence is possible a bit insane. It is really quite sad. Very much enjoying it as a book though.
