What's the difference between bathing in a hot spring and bathing in Japan?

Yes, Japanese people love hot springs. Japanese people go home after work and take a bath. It's not a bath, it's a shower. Japan's climate is hot and muggy, and you get sweaty during the day, so taking a shower doesn't keep your body hygienic. That's why Japanese people love to take a bath. In addition, taking a bath has another benefit. For Japanese people, taking a bath is relaxing. Japanese people often say, "After taking a bath, all the stress and fatigue in my body will be gone!" They say, "I'm free of stress and fatigue when I take a bath! Bathing keeps the body hygienic, but it doesn't have a relaxing effect. This is the reason why Japanese people like to take baths. Overall, bathing keeps the body healthy and soaking keeps the mind healthy. Japanese people prefer to go to hot springs to take a bath. Hot springs are boiled water that comes out from underneath volcanoes, so many of them are in the suburbs. Japanese people often go to hot springs for vacation during weekends, year-end, Golden Week, summer vacation, and other long vacations. If you have a chance to visit Japan, I recommend going to an onsen. However, if you can't go to an onsen due to your schedule, you can buy an onsen concentrated bath at a convenience store or drugstore and put it in the bathtub at a hotel. You can easily enjoy the hot spring bath.
