Akita in the New York Times

Check out this NYT article and slideshow to learn about Akita (where we live in Japan). The onsen area that is mentioned is where we had our first onsen experience in Japan. We camped on the lake that is in the article and plan on snowboarding/skiing in this area this winter! The slideshow is beautiful and makes Akita look much more glamorous than it really is. Check it out:

(Even though Akita is not glamorous, we do love it. As they say here, Akita is full of 'the nature.' We would take the nature over glamour any day.)
