Shuzenji Temple (and the Onsen)

Dustin and I originally planned to spend some time traveling to Shuzenji Temple and then end the day with a relaxing dip in an onsen (lit. “hot spring”). It is, after all, known to have an overabundance of onsens. Armed with a cartoon map of the area, our adventure was spent mostly deciphering the cute map of Shuzenji, walking to Shuzenji, stopping at shops and food stalls in Shuzenji, and then walking out of Shuzenji. We did not encounter any onsen that day.

We forgot the purpose of the trip and spent our time gorging. That to me, my friends, is a well day spent. Besides, it gives me another reason to go back and spend some time in Shuzenji.
