Farewell to Myoko (for now)
This is my last posting for the season from Myoko Kogen as I will be moving over to Nozawa Onsen for March (and writing reports for the Nozawa part of this site).
Thanks to all the great people of Akakura Onsen for a wonderful time there over the last two months and I hope to see you all again next season! Thanks also to readers of the blog – I hope you’ve enjoyed the photos and videos and I hope to see you in Myoko next season too!
