On the 3 day weekend of September 16, 17 & 18, Kazuya and I went to Kusatsu, in Gunma Prefecture. You can find additional Kusatsu Area photos if you look at April 2005's photos HERE (new window) and HERE (new window). In this row you are looking at 3 shots of YUBATAKE, a hot pool in the center of town.

The first 2 shots here are at Sainokawara Park, in Kusatsu. You can see the steam coming up from the hot pool and the warm stream. The 3rd shot is a map with black arrows showing our hike the following day (Sept. 17). We came up the road which comes from the right (east) via a local bus. Then we hiked to the north - to the Volcanic caldera - then back down and around the 2 hour loop and then down the gondola and off the map to the right again.

The first shot is an entire Lindou Plant. The 2nd shot shows me and the caldera lake - what an incredible shade of blue/green, eh?! The 3rd shot is looking back down the trail from the direction we came.
