Out of a variety of spa facilities in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, Fire Water Lodge is only the place that does not accept walk-ins.

As it is named, the hotel provides one of the hottest water in the city.

Ixtapan de la Sal (Balneario Municipal), Mexico

Shortly before sunrise, roosters crow in the cobbled streets.

At a public bathhouse in Mexico, regular visitors are waiting for the opening.

Hellie’s Teepee Pools, Wyoming

I like to spend all day long doing nothing special other than soaking and lying down.

It must be better if there is good hot spring water.

Such place is in the state of Wyoming.

Bagby Hot Springs, Oregon

Portland, in the State of Oregon is ranked high in several surveys about the best places to live in the U.S.

It is only one and a half hour’s drive from the city full of the Modern Hippies to a bathhouse in deep in the mountains.

Days Inn Thermopolis, Wyoming

Many hotels in the United States are under chain managements.

Low-end brands are suitable for tourists who do not put much value on the accommodation and service, but want to secure the security.

Days Inn is one of such hotel chains, but this Days Inn looks unique.

Hot water can be a welcome gift in cold weather.

A scene in a dream are often unrealistic, and sometimes depressingly beautiful.

If it is a hot spring, it may be like this.
