Japanese Onsen

When you come to Japan you will definitely hear about onsens and public baths. It is most definitely an experience that you have to try if you haven't ever before. I strongly recommend the city of Shirahama in southern Wakayama prefecture. This last weekend my friend from Spain and I took the two hour shinkansen ride to the city to give it a try. After purchasing our 1ft sq. towel we journey to the baths that sit between rocks right beside the ocean. After an hour or so sitting in the baths that ranged anywhere from 83-55 degrees Celsius, the sun was starting to set. At about five minutes before 5 o'clock I can easily say that I saw the most amazing sunset I have ever seen. An unforgettable experience.
