JAPAN - Simon Collyer was invited as a guest to write about Wakura Onsen and Nowaza Onsen in September 2019.
This Flying Squid, a symbol the fishing town of Noto, on the Noto Peninsula made it onto the BBC website this week.
This is Nowaza Onsen: https://nozawakanko.jp/en/
This is Wakura Onsen: https://www.wakura.or.jp/en/
An onsen is a hot volcanic spring enriched with minerals. The water is cooled and piped into baths. You can cook eggs in the town fountain and many people cook their vegetables outside in open pools of steaming water.
Japanese culture is amazing and their history rivetting. Traditional Noh theatre is fascinating although you have to research it to understand what's going on.
Below is Dolphin Smile.
Here we saw bioluminescence generated by Vargula hilgendorfii, sometimes called the sea-firefly that lights up at night like a zillion stars.
From this base, our party went swimming with Dolphins. Japan really is amazing.
