Had a chance last week to go to the farthest reaches of Joetsu while researching for a summer camp spot. Shobu Kougen (Iris Heights) is up where the snow remains in Oshima Ward. Another undiscovered (by me) Resort area in Joetsu. The 3-4 gentlemen who were at the lodge clearing the roads and preparing for the Golden Week holidays were friendly and inviting as the reminisced about the boom days when live music was played on the outdoor stage and people sang around the campfire....#joetsu #visitjoetsu #Oshima #shoubukougen #springinjapan #springsnow https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw5tQbTDRYh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17v2eitgendv4
