I was woken at 6am as soon as the first person started moving around somewhere but I had a brilliant sleep wrapped in a soft comfy duvet on futons. Futons are the best thing for a dodgy back. Aside from the onsen that is, and I indulged in another soak in scalding mineral water before breakfast. A leisurely stroll about the village confirmed that no, we would not bother with that trek again. It was snowing but very very lightly and was just melting on contact so there was little point. After we quickly checked the trains/times & connections between trains, the hotelier very kindly offered to run us to the station.
So I'm now sitting on the 12.24 Hakutaka express back to Tokyo. We are determined today will be a semi relaxed day. There are still many places we want to visit but you just can't fit everything in.
These images are from last night.

 Bring your own egg and for Y50 you can boil it |  Pavement foot onsen |
3.30pm: We have just checked into our 3rd and final hotel in Tokyo - saving the best till last. Much more space than the other 2 and it's only 1 block up from the famous Shibuya crossing.
4.45ish: Out with the cameras again - this part of Tokyo is very high energy... and energizing.
