shoubu yu

We have got a special bath today;
On the Kodomono hi (The day for Children), we put
Shoubu (sweet flags) in baths, wishing good health.
It is also believed that the leaves work as a charm
for protecting yourself from bad diseases.
You will enjoy the aroma of the leaves that is a kind of
Japanese harb in our hot spring.

We only have this special bath once a year.
I would like you can try this some day.
