Mina-san, where is your favorite onsen?
at 7:33 am
These days, when new PDFs first become available they are blank except for the 101 logo. I sure wish this problem could be fixed.
お願い!

My favorite onsen is in Daigo in Ibaraki. I went there with some friends a few years ago and had a great time there. I then went back about 18 months ago by myself and had a really relaxing time there. I am about to move up to Fukushima in the mountains - and there will be heaps of hot springs in that area!
But Peter, (and other people who might be a bit bashful), after going to a hot spring for the first time in Japan, you don’t need to worry about 生まれたままの姿 because everyone else is naked as well. I thoroughly recommend doing this if you are coming to Japan. If you can’t go to an onsen, then there are always sentos.

私はうれしい。。。PDFをダウンロードできるようになりました
ありがとうございました!
I’m happy to be able to download the PDF now.
Thank you!
私の好きな温泉は、日光にあります。My favorite Onsen is in Nikko.
車で1時間ぐらかかります。I can drive there in about an hour.
涼しい山の中にあるのです。It’s in the cool mountains.
あまり こんでないし それと 値段がいいです。
It’s never crowded and the price is reasonable.

You went to 大子温泉 near 袋田滝?(Fukuroda no taki) -one of the most famous waterfalls in Japan.
いいですねー。

We wanted to go to Ebinokogen but the road was closed after a typhoon, so we stopped at Shiratori onsen, on the slopes of Kirishima volcano, a rotenburo looking down in the valley . Wonderful !

Yes that’s correct Naomi先生. I went there in Winter, because I wanted to see the waterfall when it was frozen - but it wasn’t at that tie. ahhhhh!

熊本の黒川温泉はとても有名です。立ったまま入る、立ち湯もあります

I like Tsukahara onsen in 別府. I love how at the station they pronounce the city.

Thank you for letting us know!
I fixed it.

Hi Guys,
Another great lesson as usual. Just pointing out a small error in the pdf (sorry!)
In the second line of the lesson (kanji), it says: 何のために使うの?
Which in hiragana should be: なんのためにつかうの?
Instead it says: なににつかうの?
Sorry to be picky, but am trying my best to understand all this!
Cheers and thanks again for the great lessons!

Another small thing I picked up is that the word: ゆぶね does not really refer to the bathtub, so much as the water in the bathtub.
A small thing for everybody to be careful of when going to an onsen or sentou for the first time, is not to take someone else’s stool or bucket. Which is exactly what I did the first time I went to a sentou. I really upset an old guy when he got out of the water and he found I was using his stool! My brother-in-law was very embarrassed (although we had a couple of beers and a good laugh about it later!)

This is how I like to use 温度:地球温暖化のせいで、地球の温度は暑くなっています。Thanks to global warming, the earth’s temperature is becoming hot.
Is that right?
at 3:06 pm
Willさん こんにちは。
Yes, very good description for global warming.
One little thing is that we use 上がる(あがる) “rise”/ 下がる(さがる) “decrease” for describing 温度.
e.g.
温度が上がる “rise in temperature”
温度が下がる “decrease in temperature”
I hope this helps!
