Thermae Fuji

Autumn

At a very traditional bath house we can find two Mount Fuji and a time portal that could bring us back to Edo era.

Notes
In the late Edo period there was a practice of constructing miniature replicas of Mount Fuji. The first such mini-Fuji was constructed in 1779 by a practitioner of Fujikō, a popular religion that worshipped the famed mountain as a god. The idea was to provide a chance to climb Mount Fuji for those normally unable to do so.
