Since it&#8217;s a cold day you can enjoy warming up in a hot bath.<br \/>\nThere is a number of other facilities in Asama, however this one is easily reached by bus without having to walk too long so I want to recommend it when the weather is not ideal.<\/p>\n<h1>Maruzen<\/h1>\n<p>Maruzen is a chain of libraries in Japan, which also sells stationery. Japanese stationery shops are generally really appreciated by visitors and if that applies to you too, this could be your chance to take a look.<\/p>\n<p>Maruzen is at one minute on foot from the bus terminal, quite easy to reach.<\/p>\n<h1>Stay at your accommodation and enjoy nihonshu<\/h1>\n<p>If you are feeling tired, take the chance to rest and enjoy nihonshu. This region is one of the best for Japanese rice liquor. Near the station you will find many specialized stores that can recommend a good bottle.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I hope you still get to enjoy your day in Matsumoto, even when the weather is not ideal.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-official sd-sharing\"><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><div class=\"fb-share-button\" data-href=\"http:\/\/blog.visitmatsumoto.com\/en\/seasonal-topics\/matsumoto-in-the-rain-asmr-video-and-three-suggestions-for-your-rainy-day\/\" data-layout=\"button_count\"><\/div><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-url=\"http:\/\/blog.visitmatsumoto.com\/en\/seasonal-topics\/matsumoto-in-the-rain-asmr-video-and-three-suggestions-for-your-rainy-day\/\" data-text=\"Matsumoto in the rain - ASMR video and three suggestions for your rainy day\"  >Tweet<\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For my March entries I have waited for the nice and sunny warm spring days to arrive before I headed out to take pictures.
