	Hot-Springs in Gunma Prefecture
		The onsen is basically a Japanese public bathhouse (sento) with natural hot spring water, and its history and etiquette are closely related to the sento.
		The onsen plays an important role in Japanese culture, providing socially institutionalised relief from the pressures of the contemporary Japanese twelve-hour work ethic and a chance for Japanese to break down the hierarchal nature of society through the mutual nakedness of skinship.
		The most important features of the onsen by far are the water and the bathing facilities, which is why many bathers simply come for an hour or so to soak in the waters even if they do not stay.
