Chez Sawaki-san, Maestro of the Buckwheat Noodle 沢木さんの手打ちそば。本当に美味いです!脱帽です!間違いなく。

彼はそば屋の足元に倒れ込んだのです、こう大声を上げながら。「ああ!--ああ!!--ああ!!!」… 『むじな』(ラフカディオ・ハーン)

Why does this Kappa remind me of Fumio? この河童は気味の悪いほどFumioにそっくりだ!

また温泉マニアが始まりました! 溶けるぞ~! In Hot Water Again; this time Ohara Sanso

大原メルトダウンです。やっぱ、大原の里よりここがいい。値段が同じでもお風呂と食べ物と雰囲を気含めてここがいい。私達だけの意見かな?でもお湯もいいかな~

Back to Ohara, but this time Ohara Sanso rather than Ohara no Sato. We both prefered this place. Price is the same, but altogether rather nicer. Food, bath and -was it just our imaginations, but we both agreed – the water itself..

Here is a clear documentary photographic record:

Sashaが「お風呂はいりたい!」と。Sasha eager to get to the bath, aka, an ‘Ohara start’
