hot springs stamps

The town of Shibu Onsen has nine public baths that are open to residents and overnight visitors. As proof that you've soaked in all nine baths, you get this special towel stamped as you visit each bath house. Several years ago we traveled to Shibu Onsen to visit the snow monkeys, and like the monkeys, I decided to soak in the hot mineral springs and bring home a towel stamped with warm memories.
