In an attempt to offer a little zen, along with a way to tackle the coronavirus-caused drop in tourism, a group of traditional Japanese inns in Arimahave started a virtual reality project featuring recorded footage of their hot spring baths online. Japans ancient hot spring town of Arima in Kobe went under a state of emergency this month which, according to reports, resulted in 90 percent of the resorts closing temporarily.These virtual relaxation tours are aimed at would-be tourists to showcase their resorts, while bringing this Japanese therapeutic experience into their homes.

Japans hot springs can help heal people in quarantine around the world, as well as increase the efficacy of the quarantine, the group said in a press release. This way, we may, even if only slightly, help reduce infections and suffering from the new coronavirus.

The group has uploaded videos to the YouTube channelArima Hot Springswhich features the top hot spring resorts in the area. To date, this includes Arima Sansoh Goshobessho, Takayamasou Hanano, Taketoritei Maruyama, Tocen Goshoboh, and Motoyu Ryuusenkaku.

If you fancy giving the virtual hot spring experience a go, all youll need is a nice, hot bath and a 4K resolution VR headset. So here it is, Japans unique but incredibly relaxing answer to get through these stressful times.
