Japanese Word Of The Day #5

Today's word is "onsen" (温泉): hot spring. 



By the way, there's a hilarious anime called Thermae Romae.
As it is written in Wikipedia: " The story follows a Roman architect named Lucius, who is having trouble coming up with ideas. One day, he discovers a hidden tunnel underneath a spa that leads him to a modern Japanese bath house. Inspired by the innovations found there, he creates his own spa, Roma Thermae, bringing in the modern ideas to his time. "
Each episode has just 12 minutes long. In a total of 6 episodes. 




There is also a live action movie about the anime (which is actually based on a manga). But I haven't seen it yet, so I have no idea if it is as good as the anime. All I know is that the actor Hiroshi Abe is in the movie, which is a good thing.
