Ryokan Indulgence at Hoshokaku Takayama

Hoshokaku left a deep impression on us. :) Impeccable service, beautiful onsen & exquisite kaiseki. I hope my pics captured the essence of it all. :)

Birthday flowers for Lin & I. :)

Snacks for our itchy mouths. :)))

Traditional pastries that are too pretty to be eaten. :)

The living area transforms to a sleeping area at nite. :)

Our little pantry, outdoor shower & onsen :)

Late nite private onsen in the snow was pretty awesome... :) I was initial pretty hesitant because I wasn't sure if I was able to bear the cold and jump into a really hot bath. Too extreme. :))) But the experience turned out manageable. :)))

Soft touches provided by the ryokan :)
