Listen " Japan's Ice Cream Capital, Gunma JBCF Cycling Race, and Spirited Away Bath House"

Episode Synopsis

This week we went back to Gunma Prefecture for another one of Zeb's JBCF road cycling races! We talk about how the racing went, and also the hotel we stayed in at Shima Onsen. We visited Sekizenkan, a Taisho Era bath house that is one of Japan's oldest, with a red bridge that is rumored to have inspired the bath house bridge in Miyazaki's Spirited Away. Back in the Kanazawa area, we've been sampling some of the many ice creams available in the so called "Japanese Ice Cream Capital", and trying to stay cool during the rapidly approaching summer months. Luckily we were able to "stay cool" during a language class placement test, and will be talking about our upcoming Japanese language lessons too!More info about JBCF road races: https://jbcfroad.jp/Listen to the end of every episode to hear our Japanese "words-of-the-week," and head to @ramblingramsbothams on Instagram to see behind-the-scenes photos.Have a question or idea?
