The ryokan has "family baths" and Ken reserved some private time in one of them. The Japanese-style bath is as follows: you sit on a little wooden stool, get all lathered up, and rinse by filling up a little wooden bucket with water from a faucet that is mounted really low to the floor and then pouring the water onto yourself. After washing they have a wall mounted shower head where you rinse well before soaking in the wood bath. The wood bath smelled so good and the water was really hot.
We were in Japan during the rainy season; it was extremely hot and humid. After walking through the city and sweating A LOT (yeah, gross), the bath felt great and relaxing.
