Snowshoeing in Nikko

Yesterday Asanosan (our group leader) took us on a wonderful hike in Nikko. It was fun to go hiking with colleagues from work, and it was great to see mountains and snow again. The scenery was beautiful. I enjoyed the silence which was only disturbed by the sound of the snow crunching underneath our snowshoes :-)

After the hike we went to an onsen (Japanese hot spring). I don't like very hot water, but somehow I managed to sit in it for a bit. Afterwards I felt amazingly relaxed, it was great :-)
