Helen Soaking In Spring
The pools have been built up so the water cools with time, not with mixing. That wall behind Helen has lots of little springs so you sometimes find hot hot spots.
Eggs Cooking
Many of the hot springs were selling hard boiled eggs cooked in the spring water. These eggs were 50 yen each (70 cents Canadian) and included a little packet of salt. There was no sulfur taste.
Foot Spa
Walking around town, we discoved this foot spa - luke warm spring water a few inches deep where you could soak your feet. Gabi is showing how it's done.
