When can you say that you know a thing?

[What is Comfort Temperature?] Jemez Springs Bath House

What is your comfort temperature for soaking?

Not only individual tastes but also cultures define the comfort temperature.

There are many hot springs in the USA, but most of them are not so hot.

Indeed, it may be reasonable considering its lower physical burden.

However, sometimes you may want to renew myself in body and spirit, by soaking in extremely hot water.

At this hot spring, surprisingly, a movable Onsen Bazooka is connecting men’s bathroom to women’s one.
