It's getting colder out, so it’s a great time to enjoy the onsen hot springs around Japan! I visited Kusatsu Town in Gunma Prefecture, known as one of the best hot spring resorts in the country.

Japan is home to thousands of great hot springs, such as Hakone (Kanagawa Pref.), Sukayu (Aomori), Beppu (Oita) and Arima (Hyogo). Visit any or all of these for a relaxing soak in the cold winter months.

Today's Japanese phrase: “Onsen ni tsukari masho!” 温泉に浸かりましょう! = Let's soak in hot springs!

“onsen" 温泉= hot springs, ".. ni tukaru” に浸かる = soak in, ".. masho" ましょう = Let's..

Enjoy Japan's cold season with traditional onsen hot springs! Have a nice winter!
