Modern-day Hot-spring Cure
A hot spring cure refers to taking a long stay at a hot spring resort with the intention of recovering from an illness. As a modern day hot spring cure is designed to heal both body and mind, recently busy people have been making use of them. It is also called a “petit hot spring cure” because it is a short stay.
