What better way to end a day than by soaking in onsen (hot spring) to relax your body after a full day of outdoor activities or skiing?

Known for aiding in the recovery of burns, cuts, and various skin conditions, the onsen also offers relief to those suffering from diabetes, gout, and gallstones, among other ailments.
