Cultures around the world have been practicing bath rituals for thousand of years. A nice bath is often associated with relaxation after a long day or week.
Here are some specialty bath houses around the world:
1) Onsen
In Japan, the Onsen is very popular with the locals and tourists alike. It is a natural hot water spring bath that is geothermally heated below the ground. The water rises to the surface hot and bubbling. In order to qualify a bath house as an onsen, the water must contain 19 designated chemical elements. In addition, it must also be at least 25 degree Celsius.
