At the entrance to the site, a rope is stretched and a "No Entry" sign is posted. However, unfortunately, trespassing is constant, and some people come to the Hot Spring and enter the Hot Spring without permission. 　Nonaka Hot Spring is currently closed. It seems that false information is also streamed on social media, but please refrain from visiting, including out of interest. Currently, there is no prospect of reconstruction, but we will inform you again when it reopens, so thank you.

This photo was taken at the Forest and Starry Sky Camp Village in Motegi Towns, Tochigi Prefecture. While enjoying winter camping, you can see the beautiful starry sky and the Great Triangle in winter, so it is very healing.

This is the Scene of Lake Onneto most recently (12/20). There is snow on the surface of the lake, but if you brush off the snow with a brush, frozen trees and ice bubbles will appear. * As I told you last time, it is very dangerous to walk on a frozen lake.
