Hot spring in New Zealand

＊the Hot spring
In New Zealand, there are many the hot springs, so I am going to introduce the hot spring in New Zealand. First, the hot spring was used as cooking, heating and cure by Maori. Now, there are 150 hot springs.

In New Zealand, there is special how to enjoy. It is trekking and untouched the hot springs. The untouched hot springs are in mountain and riverside, so you have to trek to find it. You sweat after soak in a hot spring. You can monopolize bath and nature. It is luxurious pleasure I can’t think like these in Japan.

Now, New Zealander think the hot spring is a heated pool, so it is activity. In Japan, Japanese think the hot spring is elegant and comfortable. What’s more, there are some rules. When you soak in the hot spring, you have to wear swimwear and a warning is written in the hot spring place. The warning said “Keep your head above water!!”, because the infectious disease occurs. The image of hot spring in New Zealand differs from that in Japan. But the new style of hot spring in New Zealand is worth trying!!
