Famous for its culture of naturally
heated public baths, it's apparent that plain old water just isn't enough any
more.
Hakone Kowakein Yunessan Spa Resort
near Mount Fuji, has become ultra-creative with what visitors can bathe
themselves in. The spa offers a very unique variety of different bath options
including tea, coffee, green tea, red wine and even Ramen.
For the next month, the spa is
offering guests a limited edition 'Hot Cake Spa' which has been likened to
bathing in maple syrup. The maple syrup spa was created to celebrate the 60th
anniversary of the extremely popular Morinaga Hot Cake Mix. The mix is renowned
in Japan for making perfectly light and fluffy Japanese pancakes.
The 'Hot Cake' bath smells like pancakes, with an extra hint of vanilla. It also has actual bottles of maple syrup poured into it as part of its upkeep.
Yunessan Spa said in an advertisement, that bathing in maple syrup actually has health benefits different from those when one actually ingests the sugary sauce. Maple syrup has moisturising effects that benefit the skin and can also boost circulation.
With healthy side-effects like that, no wonder all the people in these photos look so happy!
