TRAVEL onsen trip: Shiobara Onsen (part 1)

Hey everyone

one of the big reasons why i havent been blogging like i used to is because of school
(not really, i'm just really REALLY lazy). i need inspiration to blog!

anywhoooooooooooooo
i had a great start to april~ finished with my 2nd semester finals and I PASSED FREAKING ALGEBRA! that itself is a HUGE cause for celebrationnnnnnnnnnnn




a couple of schoolmates and myself went on a 3day/2night trip to SHIOBARA ONSEN
which is located in Tochigi, about a 2hours drive from Tokyo.

VERY PICTURE HEAVY POST.


after a 2hour ride from tokyo, we arrive at the scenic Shiobara onsen, tucked away in quiet Tochigi
Beautiful beautiful scenery, what a change from the hustling and bustling of tokyo.

we couldnt figure out what it is eventually... but its nice to see wildlife roaming around freely!



Japanese uncles fishing on the stream, i couldnt see a single fish but somehow these uncles caught a couple of huge ones.




Juri (my lil sister) on the suspension bridge.

Freshly grilled!
The uncle at the fishing place immediately grilled and marinated the fishes with only salt.
