My favorite is the rotenburo, or outdoor bath. You can enjoy beautiful scenery while soaking in warm water, such as snowy mountains, autumn leaves, or even the ocean.
Many traditional Japanese inns, called ryokan, also have their own onsen. I love relaxing in the hot spring, wearing a yukata, enjoying delicious Japanese food and a drink, and then going back to the onsen before bed. ♨️🍶
If you visit Japan, I definitely recommend trying an onsen at least once!
Would you rather enjoy an onsen in the mountains, by the ocean, or surrounded by snow? ☺️

Have you ever experienced a Japanese onsen?
An onsen is a natural hot spring and an important part of Japanese culture. Japan has many volcanoes, so you can find hot springs all across the country.
For Japanese people, going to an onsen is not just about taking a bath. It’s a way to relax, enjoy nature, and escape from everyday life.

Rakugo is much more than just telling funny stories. It also gives us a glimpse into everyday life during the Edo period, and it’s filled with clever wordplay, puns, and witty humor.
I hope there will be more opportunities to enjoy rakugo in English someday. I think it would be a wonderful way for people from all over the world to experience this unique part of Japanese culture. ☺️

Today I learned a little about Rakugo, a traditional Japanese storytelling art.
A rakugo performer sits on a cushion and tells a funny story using only their voice, facial expressions, and a fan. Even though there is only one performer, they play many different characters.
I think it’s amazing how they can make people laugh with just words and imagination. I’d love to watch a live rakugo performance someday!
