Searching for a hotel to stay in the winter, accessibility is a key factor in the decision process because I don’t want to drag my luggages and walk on the snow for a long time. Of course the hotel room, facilities and price are also important. Tokachigawa Hot Spring Dai-ichi Hotel was my pick for the Tokachigawa trip. It turned out to be a good choice! The bus stopped in front of the hotel. The hotel is conveniently located by Tokachi River, offering nice views from the guest rooms and many of the rest areas. The amenities and services are good. It offers free shuttle bus to Sairinka Festival at night during the event, free shuttle bus back to Obihiro JR Station, and even a bus to Lake Shikaribetsu the next morning!

Tamatsukuri in Shimane Prefecture is one of the oldest onsen areas in Japan since 733. It is a popular onsen area known as the “baths of the gods”, implying the gods like taking bath in the area. Hence many statues and images of myths and gods along the onsen street. The main feature is the beautiful Tamayu River that passes through the district from the JR station to the onsen area. It’s a lovely tranquil area where many traditional Japanese inns (ryokan) can be found. Also, there are some free foot baths, shops and cafes that offer a nice short walk.
