Onsen: Japanese Bathing Culture
·
When you picture Japan, it's hard not to think of the classic images, such as cherry blossoms, geishas, and Mount Fuji. However, one of the biggest but lesser-known Japanese cultures is the Onsen culture (bathing in hot springs). Japan is located along the "Ring of Fire" and is home to 10% of the world's active volcanoes, making it full of geothermal activity.
