Hope you guys like it.
The another fun thing to do when you at Minakami.  Not just Onsen.  But if you just want Onsen then please do the same way I do.  naked + human + natural combine as one !!

Just came back from Mount Moiwa, -6 celcius at the summit, felt like red ants biting your fingers. If wear gloves quite difficult to operate camera. Street car from Susukino to Inarichi Ropeway is just a nice experience.

Oh ya, so far I'm enjoying my stay in Kobe. Maybe because my friend's house is bigger here compared to my another friend's house in Tokyo. tongue.gif Cannot blame her because it is more expensive in Tokyo and the one in Kobe is fully paid by company. laugh.gif

So far I like Osaka and Kobe's weather compared to Tokyo, it is freezing cold in Tokyo with the constant cool wind. sweat.gif

Most of the time I'm using Google Map to show me the correct train and platforms, so today I didn't see it clearly and it actually guided me to take a tram to Sumiyoshitaisha Shrine. laugh.gif Luckily I made it despite with very minimal English. I didn't know Kansai Thru Pass also covers that, my mistake for not showing it to the driver when I disembarked. laugh.gif Anyway, it is only 210 yen compared to the loss I encountered for my Pasmo card. Lost it somewhere in transition when I took Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka. It was in my pocket all the while and before I left the seat, I checked if I left anything behind. Nothing was left behind. Yet, I couldn't find it anymore. sad.gif I reloaded 1k yen before it went missing... cry.gif It still has 1.5k yen. cry.gif

Anyway, luckily in Osaka, I use KTP all the time. I bought a 3-day ticket and still thinking if I should buy another 2-day for Friday and Saturday. I'm only going to Nara and travel back to Kobe on Friday and Saturday will be in Kobe before I leave to KIX at night. Worth for it? 4k yen... For my travels from Osaka to Kobe, it costs me around 500-700 yen per trip, so it is 1.4k yen max for daily return trip. Or else, I just get an Eco card. At least there is some discounts on Saturday. hmm.gif

Any advice? unsure.gif

If you dunno then forget about Kintetsu railways pass. Make thing easy then just take Shinkansen to Nagoya Station. At Nagoya take JR train to Kuwana Station. Then at Kuwana Station take Bus to Nabana no sato.

Link was car park not train station. The car park was you driving car using expressway.
No such thing was Kuwana Station stop operation. Most easy way to nabana no sato still take train to Kuwana Station then at Kuwana Station take shuttle bus 240Yen per way to nabana no sato
