大江戸温泉 Oedo Onsen on 9/10/06

When you enter the facility, everyone is given a choice of a colorful yukata, therefore both bathers and staff are in Japanese garb. The whole place is decked out like an old-fashioned festival, and if it weren't for dyed and styled hair, it felt like we went back in time into a Japa-Disney-Edo Village.

Stone Sauna - laying on a warm bed of rocks, happy as a clam. This one is recommended!

Doctor Fish - li'l fishies eat the dead skin off your feet. C and I were creeped out and ticklish, but afterwards our feet were smoother than a baby's bottom.

Sand Bath - If your nose itches, you have a problem, as I did, cuz I was buried under a pile of warm sand and couldn't move to scratch my nose. Not so great in the heat of summer but it would probably feel real good in winter.
