A Chocolate Spa Bath

Posted by Jennifer W. Miner Feb 14, 2007

A lot of people I know are annoyed by Valentine's Day. The pink, the red, the lace...it's all a bit much. But celebrate Valentine's Day the way you want to, not the way Hallmark makes you think you should, and you can have a great time.

For example: Luxury day spas. Ahhh, time in a relaxing mineral bath, followed by a romantic couples' massage - that's a great Valentine's Day treat. Combine it with a gift of gourmet chocolate (a natural aphrodisiac like none other), and now we're talking.

Every year on Valentine's Day, a luxury hot springs spa resort in Japan combines the best romantic factors into one great experience; a chocolate spa bath. That's right, a relaxing spa treatment of chocoate, blended with hot water and aromatic bath powders. It's edible (how could it not be?), smells great, and looks pretty much like a mud bath. Only better, because like I said, it's chocolate.

The Yunessun Spa Resort, in Hakone Japan, offers this Valentine's Day spa treat, as well as coffee baths, wine baths, and more traditional spa therapy treatments. A trip to Japan has never been quite so romantic. A ticket to the Tunessun Spa is only $29 (around 3,500 yen), and provides spa-goers with access to all the baths. Happy Valentine's Day! If you love spa treatments and chocolate (and you travel to Japan in February), this could be your ideal Valentine's Day experience.
