Curry What?

Welcome to Funny Friday! However, Not sure if you call it a fun.

Hakone is located near Mt Fuji, in Shizuoka, Japan. Hakone is wellknown for snow crowned Mt Fuji, surrended by five lakes and hot springs. Soaking in hot spring is Japan's national lesure game. In my previous post, there are new relaxing methods for overstressed Japanese, such as sand baths, etc. However, Onsen (hot spring) is still the most popular relaxing way.

This summer, a new hot spring bath debuts in Hakone-Curry Bath. It is credited for speeding up sweating and getting rid of fat, not suprisingly it is popular among young women.

It is said, to offset the smell of curry, basil essence is added to the bathing water. (TBS)

The idea of an Onsen sounds nice. Soaking like a piece of meat in curry sauce -- hmm sounds like they forgot the carrots, onions and potatos. What will they come up with next? --J
