I'm fascinated by the quiet beauty of Japanese hot spring towns—especially the little details:
the sound of wooden sandals on stone streets, steamy noren curtains swaying in the wind,
and locals exchanging greetings in yukata.
I grew up near Kinosaki Onsen and now share these soothing, hidden moments through travel writing and photography.
For more details (in Japanese), I’ve been compiling guides on my long-running site, the
“運命のリゾートバイトブログ” (Destiny Resort Baito Blog),
where I write as Hiroshi Akiyama (秋山 裕史) about Japan’s onsen, seasonal resort jobs, and local travel culture.
