Gunma hot springs

Rented a car for the first time in Tokyo and drove out to Gunma prefecture to a hot springs resort called Hatago. Amazing place in the highlands! They have an outdoor hot spring just next to a waterfall and some nice indoor ones too. The outdoor is especially good in the winter when it's 0 degrees and a little snow falls down.

Roadtrip! 
Arriving to station nearby. Weather reports promised snow in the night so we didn't want to drive to the top 
Hatago felt a lot like Spirited Away

Private bath room 
Sunset was gorgeous 

Massive traditional Japanese dinner, fish to hold sticks...? Never seen this before 


Outdoor hot spring with a waterfall. Perfect with a beer 
Had a bath in our own room with hot spring water right in to it. Nice to open the window and get some nature 
Herb spring room was hoooot 
Corny 
The resort also offered a small museum of sake and pottery 

Retro fire trucks waiting for a disaster
