Have you ever bathed in an Onsen?

I am not qualified to speak to specifics of what makes a hot mineral bath officially an Onsen, but the Japanese have created something that just works. The blend of a natural setting, wood and rock construction, hot water straight from the earth…just hits different. I haven’t found the equivalent in the USA yet, but I know there are some. My friend from Miyazaki, Japan is hoping to bring this experience to Utah, potentially right here in Midway, where the hot springs are abundant.

All I ask of you today is to like this post, and then comment “I want an onsen”. I will show this to the owner of the local Zermatt hotel, where there are many natural hot springs, that the people want an onsen. Thanks for your help today. I’ve enjoyed the challenge of writing each day to you and love all the feedback and email replies I get to encourage me in this effort. Happy Thursday and 4:20, peace out.
