In conjunction with the other hot springs images I've recently been posting, I'm including one with people in it.
Stay on the boardwalk and you'll be okay.
Letting your three boys tag along in back may not be a good idea, however.
Thanks AMaji. Yes, the family walking into the steam and being partly engulfed by it was one of the main reasons for taking the shot.
I don't know if the brothers were picking on each other, although young boys within a year or two of each other generally spend a lot of time establishing dominance. It's called "horsing around," but it's really a fairly peaceful way to determine pecking order (testosterone is like that ). The older boy is big enough to be secure in his role within the family.
