When I visited Japan, I went to a few onsens, and it's very relaxing, ...that is after you get over being naked in front of a bunch of other men!

Very pretty pictures. How hot is the water?

Don't worry, you would be able to make it out there in the winter I think. I sometimes use hot tubs (similar to onsen) in Winter and I make it, barely

I had some excellent time in the onsens and took some pictures.

Here I am in the highest level onsen called a rotenburo. I had to hike for 25 kilometers before I found the natural and elusive rotenburo:



Also, here is a picture that my girlfriend took inside the ladies onsen up on Mt Winaki:



Finally, my girlfriend took a picture inside a waterfall-type of onsen near Niigata prefecture set deep in the Japanese Arupusu:



Nakedness is very common in Japan and people don't associate sex with nakedness as they do in the west. People are not ashamed of their bodies as they are in Western countries and this is part of the beauty of Japan.

Please notice that the woman with small breasts in the picture is wearing a ceremonial octopus on her head for bathing.

That is exactly what Kepahl and I were doing yesterday after our skiing weekend.
Unfortunately I didn't have my camera handy.

Could someone be so kind to direct me to the mixed bathing onsens?
I would very much like to go and met with some ladies there.
