This past weekend we traveled with two other families from school to the town of Iwaki in Fukushima prefecture. Our destination, the Spa Resort Hawaiians theme park. Built in the mid 1960’s to bring economic vitality to this previously prospering coal town, the resort is a massive indoor complex. It was two warm days filled with pools, water slides, raft rides, and hot springs. Dressed in the hotel issued attire, we attended the evening show which featured amazing dancers, beautiful costumes, flame throwers and a live Hawaiian band. The kids, two boys and two girls, played great together. They kept us parents busy going from area to area. As one parent put it, “it was the most tiring relaxing weekend I’ve ever had”. Despite the required effort to take it all in, it is a fun get away for families. This is the European style family hot bath. There is a separate area containing the traditional Japanese hot bath that replicates the style from the edo period, however, since men and women are separated, we opted for the "swim suits on" family option.

Roo loved the current pool that moves your float along. 
Ryan entertained the kids for most of the 2 1/2 hour train ride home.
