I have a healthy addiction to bathing in Japanese onsens. So far, I have soaked in around six hundred hot springs while traveling across Japan by train, plane, boat, snowshoe, bicycle, and foot. My current home is Niigata, but I've also lived in Nagoya, Nagasaki, Oita, and Matsumoto. I am getting close to my goal of visiting every prefecture of this fascinating country.
