Saturday I went on a small sightseeing trip with the Masudas to Saitama prefecture. We went to Oshi-jo, a castle in Gyoda formerly known as the floating castle. It got the name because after an attack in 1590 in which water was diverted to flood the castle, it still stood and was said to be floating above the water. After the castle visit we went to a very nice onsen in Gyoda. We tried all the different baths from hot to cold, although I only stayed a few seconds in the cold ones (1 was 16.8C, about 62F).
