Unique historical culture of Japan

Unique historical culture of Japan

I felt the unique historical culture of Japan. Shrines in Japan have a long history. There are large and small ones, scattered throughout the country. Shrines are already deeply ingrained in the spiritual and cultural life of Japanese people. Tourists also flock to these sites, collectively delving into the profound history they represent.
Akigawa Valley

Ishibune Bridge

Ishibune Bridge

I passed by Akigawa Valley's Ishibune Bridge and arrived at Seoto-no-Yu Spa. The source of the spring is Jurigi Nagatake Onsen. The hot spring, drawn from a depth of 1500 meters underground, is popularly known as a "Beauty Bath" due to its high alkalinity.

Hot springs are a part of Japanese life.

When the topic of hot springs pops up, I believe 9 out of 10 people would immediately think of Japan. This association is inseparable from Japan's natural environment and culture. In Japan, soaking in hot springs is far more than just taking a bath. It's a complete ritual. Missing out on experiencing it at least once would definitely be regrettable.
