In the Snowland

We went snowboarding and Japanese spa in north area of Hiroshima last weekend. This year, it has been so cold weather and we have much snowfall in north area. So last weekend was the right timing for tour of snowboarding. On our way to ski resort, the road was perfectly frozen and white. Of course my car has snow tires but they are no use on frozen road in high-speed. Therefore, I have to drive very slowly and carefully.

After having hard drive, we managed to get to ski resort and found the snow was perfect for snow-surfing. Because we have a daughter and come to let her see and touch snow, we couldn't do all day long and I and my wife did snowboarding in turn. During one was surfing on the snow, the other played with daughter on the snow. As we expected before, almost 2-year-old daughter was afraid snow and often say "So cold, freezing! ". I guess it was a little early for her playing on the snow...

For staying on night, I had made a reservation in advance and this Japanese inn was so nice place and clean! We were greatly delighted, moved and deeply impressed by the inn and hot-spa. My wife was so delighted that she took a hot spring bath three times!!! In addition, unfortunately for me, our daughter only had fun in this inn, not on snow...

For 2 days snowboarding and staying hot-spring inn made us refresh and happy so much. We think we want to have a tour like this at least once a year.
