Updates on the Olympics andThe Japan’s Consumption Tax Increase

Japanese hot springs (onsen) in winterOnsen is popular all year round in Japan, but winter is the best season for special
experience. For example, we can see a great view of snowy landscapes whilebathing outdoors. If there are no snowy landscapes, sitting in the hot water inthe cold is relaxing.
Even animals enjoy onsen in this season. We can watch capybara soak in onsen
at IZU-SHABOTEN PARK until April.
Please warm the heart and body in hot springs!
