A composite panorama of the view from the lobby of an onsen in Jozankei, Sapporo. All of the onsens, spas, and hotels edge the valley where the hot springs originate. The river doesn’t freeze because it is warm, but snow accumulates on the rocks in the river and everywhere else. The sidewalks in the town were all plowed, but we walked through pathways cut through drifts that went over our heads!
