well, given your knowledge of the country, if they've never been, i expect your planning & research is more than adequate!

one of the windows you see in that far building was actually the window of our bedroom out to the world...we could hear the constant rushing water of the rapids the whole time we were there....it was quite spectacular...

nice views....and the constant sound of water....very soothing and relaxing :say_yes:

Have a wonderful trip to Japan kenjilina! :D

Great pics from your onsen Tu_triky! I can almost hear that water rushing by. Thanks for sharing them! :)

well, thank you. it's funny you mentioned the water...obviously you could hear the river constantly in the background...but one of the private outdoor baths (rotenburo) was actually near the base of a waterfall so as you sit in the hinoki wood bath filled with water you can see the waterfall cascading down only a few hundred feet away.

what time of the year do you usually go? in the summer?

i dont have a set time, except for summer, when we have yearly pre-planned trips with friends...

personally, i like mid-spring and late fall backpacking

mid spring because i like the rushing water (spring melt) and the waterfalls are more robust.
late fall mostly because of the foliage, and cooler temps, less chance of rainfall.

I'd go in the winter, but i really dont have the equipment for it.
