Hiking. As relaxing as it was, it was also exhausting. Sometimes you wished nothing but to be at home in your bed, but that thought only came when you were halfway done with the trail. No one would head back when almost finished. It’s cold out and the clothes you decided to wear for this occasion aren’t exactly helping..

You closed your eyes and decide to run on autopilot for a bit before the sound of water catches your attention. You didn't even notice it but you walked more than a mile with your eyes closed. While doing so, you ended exactly where your body wanted you. Outside of a place to rest.

You were thankful that it wasn't nighttime, if it was you could've only dreamt about entering this place. Inside is a gentle atmoshpere filled with japanese culture and kind people. You check in and head for the changing room.

As a non native, you weren't exactly used to this kind of place. You were forced to change behind an almost see through wall, getting out of your comfort zone. But right now you couldn't care less, you immediately head for the hot springs, dropping your towel and sitting down your head thrown back as you relish the sensation cleansing your body of fatigue.

But out of nowhere the door slid open and a young woman came inside. You swore you went into the right hot spring, you even asked twice to avoid this situation. Soon the young woman notices you sitting there and her face heats up, letting out an embarrassed squeal.
