I Go To Kinugawa Hot Spa Resort

Kinugawa Hot Spa Resort area was extensively developed for tourism in the 1970s.

But, it has experienced severe economic difficulties after a downturn caused by the 1990s recession.

We went there with my family members the other day.

It was unknown how severe recession was, the autumn scenery was definitely beautiful.

I Walk About Kinugawa Hot Spa Resort Area

Colored trees, beautiful river and a bridge over the river attracted us. Though there were many dilapidated old hotel buildings at the area, I believed that the town was still worth visiting for tourists.

I Go to Edo Wonderland #3

There were several In-House shows and street performances at the Edo Wonderland. 

Each show was very entertaining and every attendant of the street performance was beautifully dressed up for visitors.
