Kyoto & Osaka Hot Spring Sauna Journey
It's been a while since my last trip. After being utterly undone at Mifuneyama Rakuen Hotel Rakan no Yu last month, I found myself in a state of burnout for some time. It was such a profound experience that I felt no need to travel for a while, and I had decided not to move until motivation naturally welled up from within. But the fact that I'm writing this travel journal means the time to act has finally come. During my time off, I thoroughly researched facilities across Japan and drew up a list of places I wanted to visit. Thanks to that, I discovered a number of wonderful facilities I had never known about before. Sometimes it's important to pause along the way and prepare for the next chapter. This time, I invite you to join me on a journey through Kyoto and Osaka.
