I spent the morning surfing in the ocean, and the afternoon with family in the mountains. This is called “balance.” 
Back to Japan. There is a very long and very beautiful river up in the mountains of Wakayama. This place is magical because of it’s scenery, and it’s pureness. The river water from the mountain is so clean that you can drink it!
Then there are these hotspots of hot springs. Yes, the river is freezing cold, and you will find a hotspot with boiling water. So you make a little pool with rocks and that’s your natural foot onsen. 
First you do yoga, then meditate, then get ready for the natural freezing cold ice bath. 
OMG, I couldn’t feel any parts of my body. It was completely frozen stiff. Luckily I made it out before hyperthermia set in. 
Than I sat on the side of the river soaking my feet into the natural hot springs. There was nobody else there so I went in naked. Haha. Just joking…
