I have compiled a number of highly regarded onsen from my own private database along with highlights on Google Maps. The onsen, for those who do not know, is a hotspring. A mineral rich spring that comes up from the earth that people bathe in. In North America, most people snap photos of such places, while here in Japan the locals bathe in them.

This blog explores many of the things I find to be beautiful and endearing about Japan. It covers a wide range of topics on food, hot springs, sake, sexuality, history, politics, and spirituality. In 2008, I published two books, one on natural hot springs and the other on Japanese sake. I am also a cultural immersions instructor that oversees interns with life overseas.

This blog is a personal journey of mine, a chronicle of my life and times in the land of the rising sun.
