英语访谈对话 211 Onsens

 　　Steve: Hi, this is Steve. I'm going to talk about Japanese Onsen. Onsen is like a public bath, where men go, or women, in separate areas of course, and enjoy very hot baths. I like it very much because it's very relaxing and it's very healthy. They have different kinds of baths with different sort of flavors¹, you might say. Some baths have minerals like sulfur², or radium, or even camphor in them and they have different health benefits. After bathing in an onsen, for an hour or two you take a shower, shave, and wash your body and then afterwards, you feel really, really good. I like to go for sushi after onsen.
