Japanese bath

I am fascinated by bath culture in Japan. People here often say that those who bathe regularly are happier. I found it surprising at first, but I am now completely convinced there is truth in it.

Whether at an onsen, a local sento, or simply at home, bathing is an incredible way to relax and wash off a long day. At one stage, I went to my local sento almost every day, and the ritual felt almost meditative. I remember feeling incredibly serene and happy during that time.
