Kishimi stone bath experience
Kishimi stone bath is a sauna-style bath facility built by Chogen buddhist priests to heal people who were fatigued or injured from cutting and transporting giant trees to rebuild Todaiji Temple, and is still used today for bathing. In 1958 it was designated an important tangible folk-cultural property of Japan.
