Ekuzeni kokusa, I & apos; ndimi ndize ezimnyama ashino -litye lesiseko, sithandazela ukuba kungabikho mntu uvukileyo kuyo yonke iNyakatho yeHonshu. Iinduli ezinde ezijikeleze le ndawo yokuhlambela ngaphandle e-Niki Club, ihotele yanamhlanje iTerence Conran-eyakhiwe kumda weNikko National Park, ayihlangani nemigangatho yam yaseNtshona enesidima. Ndithambisa isepha yam ngamaqhakuva, ndathambisa kwibhakethi le-cypress, kwaye ndilungiselela ukuzidibanisa namanzi acwengileyo echibi elinzulu. Kuthatha amatrayi amathathu, kwaye ngelixa amathanga am abomvu-ilobster ebomvu, ndibhaptiza ngokwaneleyo ukuba ndiyeke ukukhathazeka malunga nokukhwankqisa kusasa ekuseni kwiNtaba iNasu-dake. Ndimboza ubuchopho ngengubo epholileyo yokuhlamba iimpahla ukuze ingatshi. Ndijongile, ndabona ubulembu bukhula kwiziduli eziphantsi kwemithi ejijekwe ngumoya. Ukukhanya kwelanga kugalela intaba. Iintaka ziqala ukujijisana, kwaye ndithatha isigqibo sokuba amaJapan, emva kokulungisa kakuhle lo mbono iminyaka eliwaka, kusenokwenzeka ukuba uyazi into okanye ezimbini malunga namanzi ashushu kunye nesepha.

Nabani na obukele iHayao Miyazaki & apos; s USen ukuya eChihiro No Kamikakushi ( Ukuhamba komoya ) Akudingi kwaziswa ku onsen (intwasahlobo eshushu) inkcubeko. Kwabo bangakhange babe nayo, imovie yiphupha elihlekisayo malunga nentombazana efayo ethi ifumanise ukuba iqeshiwe njengendawo yokuhlambela kwindawo yomoya. Ngaphambi kokuba imibhobho yangaphakathi endlwini ixhaphake, uninzi lwamaJapan luthathe usuku nosuku kwigumbi lokuhlambela, okanye ndiyeva , apho amadoda nabasetyhini bahlala besabelana ngezixhobo, ezazondliwa yimithombo eshushu yendalo. (Guess ngubani okhuthaze ucalucalulo kuqala? Abathunywa base-Prissy baseMelika nabaseYurophu, ngexesha le-19 leminyaka ye-Meiji.) Iindawo zokuhlambela ezindala njengaleyo iboniswe Ukuhamba komoya bezincipha ekuthandeni, kodwa zabucala onsen ukuhlamba kwindawo a ryokan (Indawo yokuhlala yamaJapan yemveli) iseyinxalenye yobomi kwiintsapho zaseJapan, oosomashishini (abazibandakanya nokuzilolonga onsen iiklabhu), kunye nawo wonke umntu ophakathi. Ngoku kuphuhlisa oku kulandelayo. Abalandeli baquka umongameli wase-France kunye ne-apos, u-Jacques Chirac, othanda u-Asaba, kunye nompheki u-Nobu Matsuhisa, olundwendwe oluqhelekileyo e-Gora Kadan-iindwendwe ezithandanayo, ezaziwa ngokubuka iindwendwe, iiyure ezimbini ukusuka kwidolophu yaseTokyo kumbindi weHonshu. Emva koko kukho i-American spa guru uSylvia Sepielli, umcebisi kwiindawo zokuhlambela e-Grand Wailea nase-Boca Raton Resort, owayephenjelelwe kakhulu kukuhlala kwakhe iminyaka eli-10 eJapan, kunye noMichael Stusser, owavula i-spa yakhe ephefumlelweyo yaseJapan i-Osmosis kunye nokucamngca igadi eSonoma County emva kwesitrato kwindlu yeemonki yaseZen Buddhist eKyoto. U-Yael Alkalay, umyili wobuhle obomvu weentyatyambo, usandula ukusekwa kunyango lomzimba wecherry- kunye-nerayisi kwi-bathhouse yakhe yamava kwindawo ekude ye-Ishikawa. (Isiko lokuhlamba elibomvu leentyatyambo elibomvu kwimenyu eseCarneros Inn eNapa Valley naseGreat Jones Spa eManhattan.) ofuro , okanye iicypress tubs, ziye zaziswa naseGreenhouse, eDallas, naseComo Shambhala, eParrot Cay, eTurks naseCaicos.

Ikhonkco lam eliya eJapan lisusela kwiminyaka yamashumi amathandathu, xa uMalume uBob, umqhubi wenqwelomoya waseOkinawa, ezisa umtshakazi ekhaya. Umakazi uYoshi wandipha ikimono eneentyatyambo — iimpahla ezinxitywa yintombazana eneminyaka eli-10 ubudala enomtsalane. Ekugqibeleni bazinza eShreveport, eLouisana, kwaye, inyani, andiqinisekanga ukuba ngubani owafumana uqhawuko lwenkcubeko olomeleleyo: uBill Murray ebhadula eTokyo e Ilahlekile kuNguqulo okanye umakazi wam ococekileyo waseJapan kwilizwe laseCajun. Ukusukela oko ndanikela nge-kimono yokuqala, nangona kunjalo, ndifumene nayiphi na imeko evelayo kwiLizwe leLanga eliPhakamileyo ayinakuphikiswa. Ngexesha lokufikisa, oko kwakuthetha ukuba ngu-Astro Boy kunye no-Hello Kitty. Ngoku, mna & apos; ndiyaphambana nge-soba noodles, iComme des Garçons, kunye nenoveli ye-bizarro uHaruki Murakami. Kwaye ukusukela onsen intshukumo isondela kufutshane nakowam umnyango wangaphambili, ukuntywiliselwa emthonjeni, kokubini kukufanisa kunye nokwenyani, ekugqibeleni kubonakala kufanelekile.

Imiswe ngakwibhanti ye-vol-volcic ejikeleze iPacific-eyaziwa ngokuba yiRingi yoMlilo — iArchipelago yaseJapan ingangeCalifornia kodwa inesinye kwishumi seentaba-mlilo ezisebenzayo. Ngamanye amagama, esi siqithi sisezintabeni sizele ziindawo ezibilayo zesalfure kunye neegiza zegiza, kubandakanya ngaphezulu kwama-3,000 eengingqi ezishushu. Phambi kokuba kungeniswe ubuBhuda, ngenkulungwane yesibhozo, iJapan kunye nenkolo ye-apos yayiyinkolo yobuShinto, isiseko sayo yayikukuhlonela indalo. Ngokubhekisele kubukho be-animism, ubuShinto bukholelwa ukuba zonke iinkalo zomhlaba — amatye, imilambo, amagqabi — zibandakanya umoya, okanye thina. Iindawo zokuhlala zazakhiwe kwiindawo ezivakala ukuba zingcwele ngokukodwa, kwaye akukho nto yenzekayo ukuba uninzi lwazo lubekwe ecaleni okanye ngasekunene kwemithombo eshushu. Ekulungiseleleni unqulo, abefundisi kwakufuneka bazihlambulule, kwaye yeyiphi indlela ebhetele yokucamngca ngendalo kunangexesha lokuntywila emanzini echibi okanye umlambo? Japan & apos; ibhafu enesiko kakhulu-ekhuhla yonke inkunkuma ngebrashi, ipiki, kunye nelaphu, Ukucoca nayiphi na isuntswana lesepha okanye ishampu, emva koko uye ungene kwisitya esishushu-yinto nje eqhelekileyo. Inkqubo yeenkolelo zobuShinto ikwanceda ukucacisa ukuba kutheni iJapan yanamhlanje ibonakala — kumntu wangaphandle — njengelizwe elinabantu abanyanzelekileyo kwezempilo. Uhlobo olucocekileyo lokuzibonakalisa lubonakala ngeendlela ezingenakubalwa, ukusuka kwindlela yokuhlamba izandla emasangweni etempile ukuya kwii-bidets zekhompyuter ezimangalisayo kwiihotele eziphambili zaseTokyo. Ungasathethi ke ngobuso obuthintela i-microbe, iitawuli zeminwe, kunye neesiliphu zangasese, ezinxibe kuphela kwigumbi lokuhlambela. Kunjalo, onsen unecala lokukhanya. Isiko lide lazala isepha ithandwayo yaseJapan— Onsen e Ikou (Makhe iiapos ziye ku Onsen !) ngu Isikhephe sothando udibana Tawlty Towers . Nangona kunjalo, onsen ayisiyonto uyenzayo ukungxama phakathi kokukhala kwewotshi yealam ne-mocha latte yakho yokuqala. It & apos; s malunga nococeko.

Amanzi asentwasahlobo eJapan & apos adume ngokuba nexabiso lonyango kubantu abanezifo zolusu, ukonakala kwemisipha, kunye nokuphazamiseka kwenkqubo yemithambo-luvo, kunye nokunye onsen Inepesenti ephezulu yeeminerali zokulandelela, kubandakanya i-iron kunye ne-sodium chloride. Ujongene neendlela ezahlukeneyo zokucinga onsen , Ndinciphisa uhambo lwam ukuya kwimimandla emithathu efikeleleka ngokulula ukusuka eTokyo: iIzu Peninsula, emantla eHonshu, nakwimpuma yeKyushu. Zonke ziyaziwa ngokucoceka kwamanzi abo, kwaye zonke zinako ryokan oqhele ukuqalisa abantu baseNtshona kwinkqubo yokuhlamba. Ngokwenyani, uninzi lweehotele zakudala zaseJapan zigcina indlela efanayo: ikomityi yokwamkela iti, usete iimenyu zesidlo sangokuhlwa, kunye nabafazi abasebenza ezindlwini abaya kwindwendwe nganye kunye neendawo zokulala. Iinkcukacha ezifihlakeleyo-iisetingi zangaphandle zokuhlambela, eziyilelwe ngokwesiqhelo yukata (isambatho esingaqhelekanga somqhaphu), kunye nokuphathwa kwengingqi okupheka-okwenza umahluko.

IHakone ibe yindawo yokubhenela ukususela ngenkulungwane yesithoba. Malunga neyure enye & ampos; ukuqhuba kumzantsi-ntshona weTokyo, kwaye sisango eliya kwiFuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. Nje ukuba ndihlukane nokuxinana kweemoto zedolophu enkulu, uhola wendlela unyuka ngokukhawuleza ngothotho lwezinto ezingena kwintaba-mlilo, apho umphunga wesulfure ophuma kwimingxunya esasazeke phakathi kweenduli ezinamatye. Nditsho nangemva kwemini enenkungu, kusenzima ukuphosa i-gumdrop eyi-12,390 yeenyawo enekhephu. Umbono wam wokuqala weNtaba iFuji. Kwinkulungwane ye-19, i-cone eleleyo yayithathwa njengengcwele, kuphela ngabefundisi abavunyelweyo ukuba banyukele encotsheni. Namhlanje, abantu abahamba intaba ngayo yonke into abanokuthi bayenze baye kwi crater & apos; s rim, apho banokuthi batyibilike khona i-soba noodles kwaye bathenge iiposikhadi zesikhumbuzo. Nangona kunjalo, le ncopho yolungelelwaniso kunye nesimboli se-apos ayinciphanga; AmaJapan ahlala eziva enethamsanqa xa uFuji ephosa isigqubuthelo esinamafu.

Swish, swish, swish . Eso sisandi esikhawulezileyo seKiyoko Ota kunye neapos; silk kimono ayenzayo xa enqumla imatriki yeetatami emise indawo yokungenisa eHakone Ginyu, iiyure ezimbini ngemoto emazantsi eTokyo. Isinxibo esiqhelekileyo esisongekileyo sifuna ukuba athathe amanyathelo amaninzi kwiisiliphu zakhe. U-Ota uqeqesha umolokazana wakhe uMami ukuba athathe indawo yakhe njenge okami , okanye inenekazi eligcina indlu yabahambi. E-Japan, lo ngumsebenzi olawulwa ngamasiko ahlonitshwayo, kodwa nangona ii-Otas zinxiba ngononophelo kwaye ngokuzolileyo zigquma imilomo yazo ngesandla esine-cupped xa zihleka, kanye njengoko oogogo babo babesenza, bayaqhubeka nobomi banamhlanje. Bobabini bandibonisa ukuba i-obi inokuba luncedo kangakanani ekubambeni iselfowuni kunye namakhadi oshishino. Ngelixa ndiphuza iti emuncu-icherry yeredi kumgangatho wamaplanga ojongane nomwonyo onzulu, uMami noKiyoko bahlala apha ecaleni kwam. Ukubuk 'iindwendwe kwaseJapan kudla ngokubandakanya inkqubo elukhuni; Ngethamsanqa, iiOtas azilindelanga ukuba ndibambelele kuyo nayiphi na into engqongqo kunokususa izihlangu zesitalato kunye nokubopha yukata ngokufanelekileyo, iphaneli yasekhohlo ngaphezulu ngasekunene. Kucacile ukuba kutheni uHakone Ginyu efumene ukuthandwa phakathi kwabaselula, abalandeli baseTokyo: bayaluthanda ulwamkelo, nolwamkelo olungekho sikweni.

Njengoninzi ryokan, U-Hakone Ginyu uneqela 'loluntu' onsen iindwendwe ezingaphakathi endlwini, phakathi kwazo kukho amachibi amabini angenasiphelo kunye nebhafu eshushu kwi-loggia ephezulu ngaphezulu koMlambo iHaya. Ukuhlamba kulungiselelwe ukuba wonke umntu abe nethuba lokuvavanya nganye nganye. Rhoqo kwiiyure ezingama-24, izibonelelo zesini esinye zitshintshwa kube kanye; konke okudingayo sisicakakazi sokuhambisa imiqondiso yokungena macala onke. Ewe kunjalo, kwabo bafuna i-tad eyimfihlo ngakumbi, igumbi ngalinye leendwendwe liqukethe ubuncinci ofuro eyeyayo. Isutiyam, kumgangatho ophantsi ojonge igadi, luthotho lwamagumbi amancinci ahlulwe zizikrini zamaphepha ezibizwa ngokuba y shoji; ukuzishenxisela ecaleni kuyiguqula ibe ligumbi elinye lokuhlala. Ngelixa ndiyithandayo ityhubhu yobhedu ejikeleziweyo ebekwe kwindawo yokuhlambela, kuyonwabisa ngakumbi ukudipha echibini elinamatye entwasahlobo ngaphandle, ngakumbi emva kokuba ndifumene ibha encinci ekufutshane egcwele ibhiya yeAsahi.

IGora Kadan, ukukhwela iteksi emfutshane ukunyuka intaba ukusuka eHakone Ginyu, yinto esesikweni ryokan kwelinye iklasi xa iyonke — ayimangalisi into yokuba uNobu Matsuhisa ethande ukuhlala apha. Indawo yokuhlala yasehlotyeni yasebukhosini uKininnomiya, inegumbi lokungenela eliglasi kunye negalari ekhokelela kuthotho lwamanzi okuhlamba angaphandle, ii-lounges, kunye nealcoves apho kuboniswa khona iiseramikhi ezixabisekileyo kunye nemisongo. UKana, isicakazana sam, wenza eyona isaphetha esigqibeleleyo I & apos; endakha ndayibona — uqeqesho lomnyhadala yinto ephambili eGora Kadan. Uguqe ngamadolo, uvula isilayidi kwigumbi lesidlo apho mna & ampos; ndiphakelwa isidlo sangokuhlwa, ndibeka iincam zomnwe ezili-10 kunye ngqo emethini, ndigoba intloko yakhe ngaphambili ukwenza unxantathu oguqukileyo. Ungaze umfulathele, uKana uthabathe itreyi ebomvu ye-lacquer, aphakame, kwaye ashukume ngokungxama ukuya kwitafile yokutyela esezantsi, apho aguqa khona kwakhona ukubonisa uthotho lwemibongo: iwayini eyenziwe ngeplamu eyenziwe endlwini; inkunzi yenkomo ityhuna yetyhuna; ingwane kunye neenciniba zefern kwisosi yeviniga; amahluma bamboo nge sansho ipelepele; I-mackerel eyosiweyo yaseSpain. Uninzi ryokan khonza ixesha elithile kaiseki Isiko elineminyaka engama-500 ubudala laseKyoto eliqale njengezibheno zokuhamba nomsitho weti. Ngoku, okunye koku kutya kubandakanya ukuya kwizifundo ezingama-20 ezincinane. Inguqulelo kaGora Kadan kunye neapos, kunye nokudibana kwayo kwezithako ezinqabileyo kunye nokuseta indawo ezihonjisiweyo, kuyenzeka ukuba iingcali zibhiyozelwe. Emva kwexesha, ndibuyele kwisuti yam, ndityibilika kwisitya esenziwe ngokwesiqhelo esikhulu ngokwaneleyo ukuba silwe nabadlali ababini be-sumo kwaye ndimamele umoya ophumela phandle. Okwangoku, uKana uthule ethe cwaka kwigumbi lokulala ukuseta ibhedi ye-futon ethambileyo kunye nomthuthuzeli ophantsi. Emgangathweni, ushiya isibane sephepha esikhanyisiweyo, ukuze ndibuyele ebhafini.

Ngandlela thile, onsen Imimandla ibonakalisa iidolophu ze-spa zaseYurophu ezinjengeBaden-Baden kunye neSaturnia, kodwa ngelixa abaseNtshona bejonga ezi spas njengonyango lokugqitha ubomi obumnandi, amaJapan aqhubeka ejonge kubo njengeendawo zokubaleka ezicingayo. Ngale ntsasa phambi kwesidlo sakusasa eGora Kadan, ishawa yemvula iyandinceda ukuba ndikufumanise oku. Ndihleli echibini elinezinto ezinamatye apho ingxangxasi iwela ngobuchule phakathi kweentyatyambo zemithi yecherry, ndibukele njengokukhanya okuqaqambileyo okujikeleza iipetali ezipinki kumanzi kunye nomphezulu womhlaba. Uloliwe oxhapha intaba uphazamisa nje ukubuya kwam. Emva kwexesha, ndiye ndangqubeka kolunye undwendwe lwaseMelika kwigumbi lokungenisa, kwaye uphakamisa amava akhe kwindawo yokuhlambela yamadoda. Ingxaki yakhe kuphela kukudlula kumcimbi wobunqunu. Utsala ecaleni ukufuma yukata ukundibonisa umboko wakhe wokuqubha.

Phantse ezantsi kwi-Izu Peninsula ukusuka eGora Kadan kulele i onsen idolophu yaseShuzenji, eyahlulwe nguMlambo iKatsura. Iibhulorho ezibomvu ezenziwa kwilipstick zihamba ngasemlanjeni, olandelwa zizitena zoqalo. Iivenkile zabakhenkethi ezithengisa i-wasabi, irayisi emnyama, kunye neekeyiki ezincamatheliswe iimbotyi zigxunyekelwa kwitempile yamaBuddha apho abalindi bathengisa khona amakhubalo. Amantombazana amancinci anxibe iyunifomu yesikolo abaleka edlula kwigalari yokudubula enesilingo sezinto zokudlala ezintle kunye nonodoli abanamehlo amakhulu. Njengoko ndibrasha phakathi kwamakhethini elineni e-polka-dot e-Asaba, eneminyaka engama-350 ubudala ryokan eneyakhe yenyani yomthi we-cypress-wood Noh, i-demure trio yeendwendwe zabasetyhini kwi-navy blue yukata kunye neebhatyi zangaphandle ezinqatyisiweyo zandinqwala ndineentloni. I-Asaba inokuba yeyakudala, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo ayiphelelwa lixesha. Kwitafile esecaleni komnyango onamatye, ndiye ndabona iphedi yedesika emnyama yaseHermes; Iscreen se-calligraphy sidityaniswe nezitulo ze-safari ngenkulungwane ye-20 yomyili waseDenmark uKaare Klint. Emva kwemini enothuli ndijonga itempile kunye nezitudiyo zeceramic zalapha ekhaya, ndikhangele phambili ekutshintsheni ndibenezinzwane zam ezimbini isihloko iikawusi, iimbadada zomququ, kunye nengubo yokuprinta kajekamanzi kunye nokutyelela ibhafu yomoya evulekileyo. Apho, ndichopha kwisitulo esisezantsi, esingavalwanga, nditshiza amanzi adikidiki kwimpompo eya emadolweni. Sebenzisa ibhakethi elincinci ukuhlamba ishampu, ndiziva ndingaboni ngokungathi ndinento endinokuyisebenzisa ukuzomisa. Ukotyelelo kubakhenkethi, itawuli efihliweyo. Ukungena lula echibini le-basalt, ndibukele indawo emile yoqalo xa kubetha impepho yangokuhlwa. Iivoti ezidadayo zidibanisa i-eddy apho umlambo uhlaziya ichibi lekhoi. Ubushushu buyadinisa, ndiye ndaphindela kwigumbi lam leendwendwe elingenazinto zininzi, i-tatami-matted suite, isifundo yoyilo kwindawo engeyiyo. Endleleni, ndiphinde ndibone la manenekazi mathathu atshisayo kwisalon ejongene nenqanaba le-Noh. Emva kwexesha, bathatha idiphu yokudada ezinzulwini zobusuku, iigiggles zabo ezivuyayo ziyanyuka ngefestile yegumbi lokulala elivulekileyo, elingaphezulu nje kwebhafu yangaphandle. Ukuxhoma kunye nabahlobo abasondeleyo abangakhathaliyo malunga ne-cellulite yakho ihlala ibetha ukucamngca kwe-ascetic.

Ngentsasa elandelayo, ndibhabhayisa kwa-trio abafanayo xa bephuma. (Cima nge-baggy yukata; Qhubeka ne-Dior exineke ulusu.) Emva kokunikela ngezihlangu zam ezitalatweni, ndagingxiza enye yeendlela zeShuzenji kunye neapos, kuphela ukuva ukurhangqwa kweebhokisi zamaplanga njenge-Asaba & apos; s valet ibamba kwaye ngobabalo indinika imephu yedolophu. Ukuwela umlambo, ndinyuka induli ukuya kukroba eYagyu-no-sho, a ryokan Oko kundikhumbuza umngcelele wePasika, yonke intwasahlobo eluhlaza kunye ne-lilac. Umgcini u-Takashi Saito uhlala esenza ubugcisa bemfazwe be-kendo (eyenziwa ngekrele le-bamboo) kwigumbi lokufundela eliphambi kwendwendwe. Unxibe iisuti zeAquaccutum. Ngokucacileyo iSaito ineencasa ze-urbane. Kwaye uyandoyisa ngokuguqula igama lam elingaxelwanga lesiGaelic libe yimibongo ebhalwe kanji. Zonke iindwendwe & apos; amagama abhalwe kangaka, kwitshokhwe kwizilayiti ezingaphandle kwegumbi ngalinye lamagumbi ali-14 kwisakhiwo esikhulu. Kukwakho nezindlu zetyeyi ezimbini zohlobo lwetiyouse, ezifakwe kwi-bamboo grove yabucala. Ngaphakathi kuzo, izihlalo zebhaskithi ephothiweyo ezinamaqokobhe e-brocade kunye neendawo zokubeka iingalo ezingafaniyo zijongane netafile ephantsi kunye nokuma kwamakhandlela. Sisicwangciso esifanelekileyo samurai. Indlu nganye inechibi lamatye ashushu kufutshane nomfula ocothayo, apho kunokwenzeka khona ukuba zipholise izandla zakho ngaphandle kokuphakama. Kwigadi esecaleni e-moss ndibona umfanekiso oqingqiweyo we-kitschy: ii-raccoons ezimbini ezinesisu. 'Yiyo & apos; yituki yethu,' ucacisa uSaito. Iitanukisi ziluhlobo olubi thina , abalinganiswa abathandwayo kwiintsomi zaseJapan. Benza njenge ryokan abagcini, bekhumbuza iindwendwe ukuba ziziphathe kakuhle. Unxibelelwano lwangaphakathi phakathi kwemimoya yendalo yamaShinto kunye nokuhlamba okushushu-ngesiquphe kuyacaca, nokuba le mimoya ifana nabazala beChip & apos; n & apos; UDale.

Iindlela ezikhawulezayo zikhona ukufikelela kwiYufuin eKyushu, isiqithi ngqo emazantsi eHonshu, kodwa oko kuya kuthetha ukuphoswa kukukhwela kwiYufuin Akukho Mori Express evela eHakata. Isitimela saseYurophu esincinci sinomgangatho we-oki kunye nezihlalo eziphambili, kunye nemoto ye-salon ekhonza isidlo sasemini sebhokisi kunye nokuyila ibhiya yeSapporo. Inikezwe ubungakanani beJapan kunye neapos; ubungakanani obuncinci bokujonga ngaphandle kwefestile kwaye ubone ukuba ingakanani imbonakalo yomhlaba elawulwa ziindawo ezinemizi-mveliso emxinwa kunye neendawo zokuhlala zasemva kwemfazwe. Inika umbono wokuba kutheni izinto zingaphuhlanga kangako onsen imimandla ixabiseke kakhulu. Nje ukuba udlule kunxweme oluxineneyo ngezantsi kweKyoto, uloliwe unqumla kwisiqwenga somhlaba kwaye unyuka uye kwiiNtaba zeKyushu kunye neapos. Abahambi bahamba ezimotweni benemiqondiso yokwazisa ngeengxangxasi ezintle ezizayo kunye nokwakhiwa kwamatye. Endleleni yam ebuyayo ebharini, ndangqubana nenkwenkwana eneminyaka emithathu ubudala ifuna ikhamera yevidiyo katatakhe. I-ham encinci iyajonga ngamehlo xa indibona kwaye itshintshela kwidemo yekarati ekhawulezayo; ngenkuthazo encinci evela kutata wakhe, uyaqubuda ngokuthobekileyo ekugqibeleni. Ndingenza njani ukuba ndingaqubudi?

' Sutoresu. 'Ingcali yezonyango uNawomi Kawano zeroes kwiindawo ezinesifo ngexesha leseshoni ye-shiatsu eMurata, entabeni ryokan kwidolophu ye-spa yedolophu yaseYufuin. 'Unayo imvucity. Kuthatha ixesha elininzi ukucacisa eli gama liqhelekileyo. Owu, uthetha uxinzelelo . Akukho kudlala. Ndilala kwi-futon emhlophe njengoko uKawano egubungela amalungu am ngetawuli yesandla somqhaphu ukunqanda ukudibana ngqo. Ucinezela oobhontsi kunye namasundu achukunyiswe yiminyaka engama-32 yokuziqhelanisa nentamo, iingalo kunye nemilenze. Emva koko, ndiyaqhubeka nokunciphisa izihlunu ezomeleleyo kwi-terrazzo-kunye-cypress ofuro ondliwe ngumthombo wasekhaya odlula ngaphantsi kwendlu yam kwigumbi lokulala i-rustic. Ngokwenyani ayizirustic kangako. Umnini uKoji Fujibayashi ufudusele iqaqobana leplastile kunye nomqadi kunye neendawo zokufulela ezifulelwe kule thambeka ligutyungelwe umpayini ngqo ezantsi kweNtaba iYufu-dake, kodwa ukwayalele iTokyo kunye neepos; umyili weqonga uShinichiro Ogata ukuba akhe iGyou. Umgcini omncinci wekhonkrithi kunye nentsimbi. Izitulo iLe Corbusier ziqokelelwe malunga neminyaka ye-1930 kunye nenkqubo yesitiriyo soMbane saseNtshona ebharini; igalari ekufutshane inoDavid Hockney kunye noWassily Kandinsky imizobo ebonisiweyo. Kwaye nangona igumbi lokutyela eliphambili lisebenzisa indawo yokupheka yamalahle emveli, iMurata ikwanayo nesimbo sayo saseParis, i-chocolatier, ikhefi yeWi-Fi, kunye nendawo yokutyela yaseNtaliyane.

Ukuhamba ngenqwelomoya okufutshane kundibuyisela eTokyo ethanda itekhnoloji. Kubonakala ngathi ngumlawuli uHayao Miyazaki kunye nesithandwa sakhe ndiyeva izindlu zokuhlambela azinanyamalala kwaphela kwinkangeleko yomhlaba — zona kunye neapos zabo zibhalisiwe nje. Ekupheleni kohambo lwam, umphuhlisi we-spa uJunichi Kono undibonisile ngebhongo ngeprojekthi yakhe yamva nje. Iyure ngaphandle kwesixeko, kwisiqithi esincinci sase-Enoshima, kufutshane neKamakura, i-Enospa inezinto ezinokuthelekiswa neziqhelekiyo: iingxangxasi zangaphakathi, iingxangxasi, indawo yokutyela esempilweni, kunye nemenyu yonyango yaseNtshona eyenziwe nguSylvia Sepielli, Ndicebise ukuba ndithathe uhambo losuku ukuze ndibone le yantlukwano yanamhlanje kumxholo wokugezela waseJapan. U-Enospa ubetha kakhulu kwizibini ezitshatayo, ezinikezela ngee-bikini ze-Hawaiian-print kunye ne-short shorts to bob in the swimming pool.
