Onsen (温泉)
Is a term for hot springs in the Japanese language. As a volcanically active country, Japan has thousands of onsen scattered along its length and breadth. Onsen come in many types and shapes, including outdoor (露天風呂 or 野天風呂, roten-buro or noten-buro?) and indoor baths.
Onsen water is believed to have healing powers derived from its mineral content. A particular onsen may feature several different baths, each with water with a different mineral composition. The outdoor bath tubs are most often made from Japanese cypress, marble or granite, while indoor tubs may be made with tile, acrylic glass or stainless steel. Different onsen also boast about their different waters or mineral compositions, plus what healing properties these may contain.

Three Years.
Three years I’ve been with you. Three years I’ve stuck by your side. And I wouldn’t trade those three years for anything. I’d do it all over again if I could. Every single day, I’d live it all over again. Your leaving soon, and I couldn’t be happier that your going somewhere you love. But I can’t help but be sad that you’ll be so far away. I know we’ll talk and what not, but I feel like a lot of things are going to change. I just hope they don’t change too much. I can’t believe I’m only going to see you once before you leave. That’s not enough time for me to say goodbye. Even if it only is for a year. I guess it doesn’t really matter how much time I would’ve spent with you though, I still would’ve wanted more. It’s funny how my feeling of wanting to be around you has never faded, it’s just gotten stronger. Just know I’ll always be here no matter what. There’s always going to be a spot for you in my heart. Even if we end up losing touch. (Which I really hope we don’t). Anyways, the point is I love you. And I’m going to miss you more than words can describe. I hope you have fun out there love. I’ll be sending you cute little letters, so you better check your mail(:
