Well, my whirlwind Christmas tour of Japan has come to its end - I had just 3 days at Kaori's place this time as we already had a 2 day visit to an onsen planned in Izu.
Here are the pictures: Christmas in Japan
It was lush to be back in Japan and we had a great time - the onsen was the highlight as we had our own private outdoor tub overlooking the sea and a fantastic dinner too. It was great to just chill in Japanese style with all the luxuries.
Coming back to London after the pleasantness of Tokyo was pants though. There really is something quite depressing about coming into Heathrow and having to face the underground.
Oh, well. I'll have myself a hot bath now...with Yuzu bath salt to brighten my day.
