Really like these Bernard, especially the first image. The images are so clear and crisp. And they give a sense of the culture.

These are beautiful Bernard and really convey a feeling of welcoming and comfort for this place. I want to go there now. Where is this?

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

Great shots, Bernard.
That snow really looks aggressive!

A lovely set of shots Bernard. I feel like I know the place a little after looking at them.

Great set with #1 being my favorite. I love how the snow blankets this village and those small old wooden buildings.
It looks like a quiet place.
Well done.

Not only do they build to my favorite, #3, but going back to #1 is improved by finding #3 in it.

Or if I had looked more closely the first time...

They seem to suggest a tight loop where being there is going down a path and vice versa.

I have trouble choosing a favorite but they are all lovely. They just pull me in, especially the first two.

[Patricia Sheley]

Especially the first, and the solitude of cold velvet secrets on the hillside rising from the stream behind. Hardened things and hearth within~

Thank you all for your kind words!

The place is located in Akita prefecture and is called Nyutou onsen. It is certainly one my favorite hot spring among the many I had the chance to visit in Japan.

Cheers,
Bernard
