Relaxing (of a sort) in Sendai




So we have arrived back on the mainland of Honshu and have landed in a lovely city called Sendai. We are here to see the 3rd of the famous Japanese 'must-see' sites, Matsushima Bay. We're going there tomorrow. A wee walk around breezy, sunny Sendai this afternoon was a must after 3 trains and 8 hours of travel - one of which was underwater for an hour while we travelled from Hokkaido to Honshu.

To further relax us, we found out from the receptionist when we checked in that our hotel has an Onsen. A Japanese bath to me and you. Then, when we got to our room, we saw this magnificent red machine.


A massage chair and a hot bath. That sounds like rrrreeeelllaaaxation at its best. The massage chair, as Jason demonstrates here, teeters on the pleasure/pain boundary. It's wonderful and terrible all at the same time. I can't wait for it to end and then I press the button to start it off again.

The onsen, we later realised is split into man onsen and woman onsen. Simple reason, you do it in the scud.

I took this video of the woman onsen as I had the place to myself. Jason and I were shouting to each other over the fence. Lol.

We're both totally chilled now. Yawn.
