Onsen

Had my first onsen experience today. An onsen is a public hot spring. Sometimes people don't have showers or baths in their houses, so they have to go to the onsen to get clean. I went with a friend from work this afternoon. We got there and had to buy a ticket at this vending machine. Then we had to hand our ticket over to this guy at a counter not doing anything. Seemed pretty weird.

We then walked into this changing room, where there's heaps of shelves with a basket in each one. You get your naked on, leave your clothes behind and head down these stairs into this super steamy room. On the walls there are these showers with seats. You have to sit on the seat and wash your self really well. My friend Aiko said she spends maybe 10 mins thoroughly cleaning herself before getting into the onsen. The one we went to had an indoor and an outdoor onsen. We started with the inside, and made our way to the outside one. The outside once was better, the air didn't feel too cold at all, it was just nice and fresh after the farty sulphur smell of the indoor one. It was pretty awesome though. The outside one was a circular shape surounded by rocks. The water was probably about 70cm deep. Deep enough to sit and have my shoulders covered. It was a little bit weird having your nudie on with other chicks, would be more weird in a mixed one though. Apparently chicks can wear a towel in the mixed ones. Anyway, I feel super relaxed now. Hoorah!

I didn't take this picture, but it looked pretty much like this:
