Day 5 - Tuesday 29 March 2016
The route today to our second destination takes us south about 150 kms. Rather than taking the main north south highway we opted for a slightly longer route to the west.
This passed through farmlands still covered in snow and quiet villages. Our destination was another Onsen Village - Naruko and the Hotel Kameya.
Having stayed at a number of traditional style Japanese Inns the thing that strikes you is how similar all the rooms are, even down to the colour of the paint. The Kameya was no exception with both an indoor and outdoor bath filled with hot mineral water.
