I love this post. And yes! Onsen on weekdays are a special kind of deep magic.

Thank you Yasumi, I like doing boring things on weekdays too, like going to the post office and laundry days because it feels like I’m cheating.

This is all beautiful as always. Your words especially magical and a joy to read. “Cool air, hot bath” is a poem in itself to those who know that feeling. X

So kind, thank you. I’m very grateful that “cool air, hot bath” can be achieved without travelling halfway around the world too - it works just as well in the woods in Devon as it does in the Japanese countryside. 🌲🛁

That sounds equally blissful. I was thinking of a time at the Spa in Bath in November Roof top view with lights twinkling through the steam, but actually, Victorian terrace in the winter with original sash windows and the heating off seems to have the same feel if you close your eyes 😆
