No pipe insulation in Japan? Do you have a drain valve directly after the shut off valve? It should be the “lowest” point in the system.

Excellent story. Glad it’s spring over there (as well as here).

I never went to Eiheiji when I was in Japan, but I always wanted to. When I was a Zen monk in San Francisco in the early ’90s, we always talked about going there. As far as onsens/ryokans go, I have always like the ones I’ve visited.

Good post, John!

The Nankai could join forces with the Tokai, and hit us here in Nagoya too. The power of Nature…

Crazy. The Nankai Daijishin is kinda terrifying. I re-stocked and added to my Go-bag Earthquake Survival Kit.
