Ideas for Things to Do with Parents (Or Honestly, Just for You)?
Here’s a solid list of ideas that work great for the 60+ crowd — but also for anyone who likes a slower, softer kind of day.
Use it as-is or pick and choose.
All of these are easy to book, easy to enjoy, and worth your time.
Onsen Pools & Spa
A Japanese-style soak in hot, cold, and warm pools — usually about 1–2 hours.
You can add a massage while you’re at it.
Try:

You can get one just about anywhere on the street — and it’ll be decent.
