  Shiman Onsen is located about 160km northwest of Tokyo. It takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes from Tokyo
  by car.
We could enjoy watching cherry blossoms and mountains covered by snow at Shima Onsen (hot spring village) in April. 
Stone monument of religious event .One of the stone monument shows year of Bunka 2 and 3, which is 1806 and 1870, when Napoleon continued war in Europe and Holy Roman Empire finished. 
Part of vintage bike event route - Panorama Line riding in the cabbage field in Tsumagoi. 
We tried to manage to ride on rough gravel road in the forest anyway. 
Sawawatari Onsen - the hot spring village next to one of the most famous one in Japan - Kusatsu Onsen.  
Took hot spring in the morning at the guesthouse which is also running liquor shop. Next time, I would enjoy local sake taking bath. 
Old hot spring ryokan house - Sekizenkan - which looks like the one appeared in animation movie Spirited Away.
