Unzen onsen in 1880


The famous bath of Unzen:
Unzen is a small village where all houses are hotels full of people attracted by the hot springs. The water is coming out of the earth every where, hot, cold ,between the rocks and the threes.
There are many bath where, men children and ladies totally naked share the bath together.
They enter in the wather then come out sit beside the bath waiting for the sun to dry them.
Europeen impression:
I allwas remember the image of for naked girls walking in the main street of Unzen when we arrived the firts day of our visit. They were not surprise nor shide by our presence. They greet us with a "ohayo", and let us take fotos of them. Later we meet mens and them other ladies all naked walking down the street. Sitting in front of their hotel we crossed many naked ladies broshing their hair.
