Foot Onsens!

Another reason why I could spend the rest of my life in Japan:
Foot onsens!

Canada is definitely a lot colder in fall and winter than Japan, but it seems Japan has the best ways to stay warm as the Earth tilts away from the sun. After the kotatsu, the foot onsen is my favorite way to keep warm.

Over the weekend, I visited the town of Yuda, Yamaguchi, which is known for its steamy onsens and free foot spas along the sidewalks. An hour in one of these, and I felt like I was walking on warm clouds for the rest of the evening.
