The Journey to Japanese Scenery in The Woodblock Printings

Woodblock printing in Japan is a technique best known for its use in the ukiyo-e artistic genre of single sheets, but it was also used for printing books. The Japanese water-based inks provide a wide range of vivid colors, glazes, and transparency.

Aguas termales en Nikko Yumoto Onsen
Ubicado a minutos de Senjogahara se encuentra un tranquilo pueblo de Onsen (aguas termales) en la costa norte del lago Yunoko.
Se dice que un monje budista que construyó un templo en Nikko hace unos 1200 años para introducir el budismo en la zona descubrió este Onsen.
Quien se encuentre en Yumoto Onsen puede acercarse al baño de pies disponible de forma gratuita en la ciudad. El agua infundida con azufre blanco ayuda a combatir la neuralgia y el reumatismo, y es ideal para descansar y relajarse en medio de una impactante naturaleza.
Al norte de la ciudad se encuentra Onsenji, un templo budista con un pequeño baño de aguas termales abierto al público. Junto al templo se puede recorrer el pantano Yunodaira, donde la mayor parte del agua caliente de la ciudad brota del suelo.
En la zona también podrán alojarse en los hoteles y ryokan tradicionales con aguas termales, imperdibles para una jornada a puro relax!
Acceso: desde la estación de Tobu Nikko (o JR Nikko) tomar el bus Tobu con destino a Yumoto Onsen.
