Introduction

This is the diary of a girl who fell in love with Nikko when she sat in an onsen and listened to the sounds of the river in the distance.

The warmth of the waters, the slight mineral scent from the rising steam, with the soothing thrum of the river in the background is a sensory experience that I’d love for everyone to have.

Here I share my personal experiences of the various onsens in Nikko, but also treating it as reviews of sorts.
