問題詳情


(C) Bathing in hot springs is an important part of East Asian culture, but one spa in Japan has turned this relaxing activity on its ear. The Hakone Kowakien Yunessun Spa in Hakone, Kanagawa, Japan, offers some of the most unique pools around. These outdoor hot springs come in flavors like green tea, coffee, sake, and red wine. Its most popular spring is the wine pool which utilizes Japan’s number one wine—Beaujolais Nouveau. The red wine (which turns the spring purple) is expelled from a large replica Beaujolais Nouveau wine bottle. If you think this is a big waste of wine and money, don’t fret. The wine is also served to the pool guests from new bottles, not the pool. Additionally, the flavored waters supposedly offer unique health benefits.Red wine baths can be traced all the way back to Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, who used the alcoholic beverage to give new life to her body. The sake pool is supposed to improve one’s skin, but there is no evidence of this being true. Coffee’s aroma awakens the senses, and the spa hopes it’ll do the same for your tired flesh; at least this is what the plaque states. Lastly, the green tea pool claims that the antioxidants in catechin will fight tumors and build up the immune system. Whatever your drink of choice is, if you visit Hakone, you can soak yourself in it.
