As mentioned earlier, I have an odd, newfound predilection for baths. It’s weird. And good.
And I’m not alone! Not only does Japan love their bathhouses, they also dedicate entire virtual towns to baths. Witness this cheery welcome message I recieved upon arrival in Bath, a town in Dragon Quest IV:
Welcome to Bath, town o’ baths!
The perfect place for trav’llers to rest their achy bones after a long time on the road.
