I love Onsen culture. I visted Fuji-san during Sakura Week in March 2008. I love Japan from first second I landed in the plane in Narita to rushing to catch a train into Tokyo, to enjoy 3 days of Onsen at Oh-an in Hakone and then to Kyoto and back again to Tokyo. Your country and the Onsens in Hakone very beautiful country and wonderful experience. I love the people of Japan.
Imagine, I live 30 minutes from LAX, you visit my home in South Bay and you too would be welcome in my home as you offer your home to me. I too own "onsen" American style swimming pool (very large) in my back yard. I am Carlos, my friends from Japan call me LOS. I am Latino.
