Japanese Hot Springs (ONSEN)

A girl who longs to travel all the time . I strongly believed that I might be in the wrong profession - I think I should have been a tour guide . Or something similar. Sightseeings are my first priority, and shopping secondary. So, anyone who's up to hiring a tour guide  or just want to pay for all my trips, please give me a yell! :) Haha!

One of the things in Japan is famous for are they have many natural hot springs (onsen). They say that it provide different health and skin benefits, and all hot springs have a relaxing effect on your body and mind. So going to an onsen was on my “to do” list for this trip. Hot spring baths come in many varieties, indoors and outdoors, gender separated ,mixed and for family only. Too bad cameras are not  allowed because the proper etiquette everyone should be naked ..

Except for private onsen ( family only) you can take photos of course! Its all yours! since im really  frustrated to take pictures we chose the latter but fairly pricey .

let me say that the weather outside was about 0 degrees, so getting undressed seemed like a crazy thing to be doing It’s OK’ I thought, ‘I’m just about to hop into a nice warm bath, everything will be fine’. So as soon as I could, I slid into the Onsen. IT WAS SOOOO HOT!!! The water felt like it was boiling, and my shivering skin screamed at me to get out.I would not have been surprised if I had a heart attack. But just looking at my pictures seems ..no one could tell that I have had some hard times LOL!!
