onsen

Our last stop of the day was to an onsen. This one was a natural, hot spring fed bath. The water was silky and full of minerals and I felt great after a long soak. All of the ladies just jump in naked, so I followed protocol and was surprised that I was not even embarrassed. Contrary to what Hollywood would have you believe, perfect bodies are exceedingly rare! Of course, I could only take pictures OUTSIDE. LOL

The most wonderful part of the whole day was observing the magnificence that is Mt Fiji-san from the onsen. This picture does not begin to reveal the awesome view of this beautiful natural attraction.
