In freezing weather, soaking in hot, soothing spring water is a real treat. Powerful water jets massage your back while you soak, and the option to combine a hot spring bath with a spa session draws many to hot spring hotels. After the soak, complimentary hot tea and sweet soups are available, and for those feeling peckish, hotels even offer hot spring-and-hot pot packages.
