When you think of Japan, what comes to mind? I think hot springs must be a topic that can't be jumped, even if you haven't tried it locally, even if you haven't soaked in China due to objective conditions, you can see its shadow from many Japanese film and television works that are popular all over the world. You may not know that the once popular photos of monkeys soaking in hot springs on the Internet are also from Japan, in fact, it is not clear, in the end, it is the first people to discover the wonderful use of local hot springs, or monkeys!
In fact, Japan has such a deep hotbed culture, it can be said that it is completely "deserved" him, in the geological active belt, although it brings endless pain to the local residents, but also gives them the world's most abundant hot spring resources, not only a little comfort for the people of the island country, but also becomes their capital for vigorously developing tourism, but as mentioned earlier, as mentioned earlier, as early as the first person went down to the soup pond, monkeys have been soaking in it for thousands of years.
The most famous spot of monkey bathing hot springs is located in The Hell Valley, Hokkaido, and every winter, they ignore the tourists from all over the world to watch and gather, and carry out the activities handed down from their ancestors. Many people who can't stand the culture of public baths also choose to come to see the monkeys and take the opportunity to experience the comfort of hot springs. Indeed, in the snowy winter, watching the monkeys gather in the steaming soup pond, there will be an unknown warmth in your heart.
In fact, back to the human circle, the history of Chinese hot springs is much earlier than the Japanese, the most important record can be traced back to the pre-Qin period, even Qin Shi Huang also built a special "Lishan Tang" royal baths for hot springs, as to whether this culture was imported from the mainland is now unknown. But I have to say that after all, the local area has rich geothermal resources, and the hot spring culture is developing more in full swing in Japan, and it has long become a gimmick that Japanese tourism cannot be stripped away.
However, as we all know, the island residents are the most engaged in flower life of the nation, the development so far, for them to soak in the hot spring can not be just so simple, but integrated in a lot of cultural customs, foreign tourists have to abide by it, but also a deep experience of it, but some customs or some persuasion, such as can not wear their own clothes to the pool, if you really can not adapt, in fact, go to Hell Valley to see how the monkeys achieve hot spring freedom, do you think?
