Welcome to Paradise!

We just came home from Nagano where we have spent last weekend. This place is heaven on earth! We took about 800 pictures, and here is a little taste.

Nagano has the clearest water in Japan. Hot water from the vulcanos mix with the cold water from the mountains. When this picture was taken we were on our way to a Japanese bath-house called an Onsen. We took a bath in the natural hos springs.

Bento on the train. We have a new passion, it is bento-boxes (japanese lunch box)



The leaves are turning red for the autumn.

Nagano is called the Alps of Japan, it is surrounded by very high moutains!
