Ok, I know I said there would not be any more shows about Tokyo for awhile, but I still have heaps of recordings from my time there last year. (but I promise new shows and videocasts in the next few weeks from other destinations around the world)

So for today's show I take you to visit a traditional Japanese onsen (hotsprings/public bath) in the heart of Tokyo in the Azabu Juban district. I share some of the etiquette associated with visiting a hotsprings in Japan (yep, you have to go naked...) and some of the great places to go in the district surrounding the Azabu Juban Onsen.
