  1. Hey John, good to see you live ^_^ you look like you need a spa bro! ^_^ yeap take some time off and get a good treatment without live stream ^_^ love your work , love your company and will be here when you are back ^_^

  2. Too me the last two years Japan has became serious about that tattoo change!! I am I correct John? But when she said they used to smoke in the jr train wow I am so against smoking in a open train!!!

  3. Sorry John, I didn't hear a single word you said. That cute girl in the center kept stealing my attention. ๐Ÿ˜›

  4. Enoshima, you are beautiful. Coming on 3rd trip to Japan in March, and this will now be added to my agenda!! Thank you John for your vid on this amazing place, that I had no idea existed!! As always you are great at finding the greatest places in Japan to visit!!

  5. What a wonderfull place!!!! Hopefully it will be tattoo friendly by the time i get to visit Japan ๐Ÿ™‚

  6. This gave a nice flashback. I went to Enoshima in 2012 with my Japanese teacher and I think we was looking for ice-cream and ended up at this spa. Got to put my shoes in the locker, got the bracelet and went up to the restaurant. Maybe we even sat at the exactly same place by the windows and looked out at Mount Fuji. It was a bit more fancy than we looked for, but it was a nice place. I was back in Japan four months ago and I'm pretty sure I saw Ruth teaching English in a tv show. ๐Ÿ™‚

  7. It's interesting how awkward Americans generally are about being naked with their parents or other people. I think we here in Finland are very close to Japan in terms of nakedness. Instead of onsen we just have the public saunas.

  8. I wonder if people in the Onsen really don't care about seeing others naked.. I mean I'm only human, and if a woman or man who was more 'blessed' in those areas , I'd definitely have a look… Lol ๐Ÿ˜‚ so I'm not sure if the 'everyone is the same ranked naked' really is true.. Just saying, no hate guys.

  9. Relaxing??ย – I was chuckling because in that LAST video it didn't look like John got to ย relax at all!! ^_^ย  What with hurrying along from pool to pool, getting lost in hallways, hurrying underneath the waterfall, freezing in the cold…
