My sister and I insisted we weren’t going to take any more baths in the onsen, but we did anyway. and then it was time for breakfast which was quite good.

We stopped at Anadan Spring (Holy Water) on the way back to Toyama. The youngest “kid”, also Dr. Kawasaki, drinks this water twice a day. You walk down a path and down some stairs, rinse out your jugs, fill them from faucets that go directly to the spring (one of the cleanest in Japan according to something I read). I also read it had radium in it so I took the bottle I filled up and ended up pouring it down the sink.

Also near the spring was a busy temple and they had hot and cold somen there. (I had hot, Mariko had cold.)

Also since the weather cleared up we went up to a viewpoint to see the northern Japanese alps on the way to buying groceries for dinner.

Dinner was at the senior Kawasaki residence and I didn’t bother them by taking pictures. Sorry!
