6.Hot Springs


In geographical features, there are many eruptions of volcanoes, so a lot of hot spring areas were formed in Japan. Japan tried hard to develop this characteristic, so Japan became famous for being the country with the best hot springs.
The origins of the spring areas is that in the past, doctors who couldn't administer medicines to patients went to spring areas and they felt the good effects. So after that, a lot of people visited spring areas to cure diseases. It was the start of the spring area's history.





The spring area was a small business, but it would be Ryokan, an inn combined spring area which keeps tradition. Then, the spring area was vitalized. In the Japan spring areas, Ryokan means that it gives rest and composure to Japanese so the awareness about the bathing culture in Japan is very different. Japanese think about bathing as "Go wash your dirty body" but "Go soak your body in warm water."
