Hyogo & Osaka Hot Spring Sauna Journey

Whenever I have plans to meet someone far away, it means one thing to me: a hot spring and sauna trip. After all, the actual meeting only takes a few hours, leaving the rest of the time completely free. That is why the meeting itself is never the main event — the hot spring and sauna journey is always the star, and the appointment is merely a side note. That is simply how I see it. This time, I invite you to join me on a journey through the finest hot springs in Hyogo Prefecture.
