Hot spring! ♨

I went to a hot spring today. This public bath is only fifteen minutes' drive. It is a place where many people come to. Some people come there from a distant area. The fee is reasonable, that is two hundred yen, so there are people who come every day.

The hot water has an affect on pains in body and some sicknesses, so some people come there in order to soften their pains. Drinking the hot water is good for our health. It taste a little salty, but I heard that some people use it to water down "syou-tyuu". (That is one of Japanese alcohol.)

In the public bath, there are two warm bath inside and outside and a cold bath, that is called "mizu-buro" in Japanese. I can see many stars and the moon outside. I usually take a warm bath and a cold bath one after the other. It is said that blood vessels become stronger and there is not much fear of catching a cold by doing so.

Besides there is a shop of vegetables, fruits, ice creams, flowers, side dishes, and so on. The cucumbers and tomatoes are espacially fresh. It is one of my pleasures in the hot spring.

It is a good place!
