Today’s post is for all the couples that are looking for a romantic onsen in Japan to spend some quality private time together during their trip. Visiting a Japanese hot spring isn’t only an amazing travel experience but also the perfect start for an exciting date and a romantic evening. Spa Resort Ryokan Hakone Ginyu is one of the most romantic onsen ryokans in Japan, but also a bit pricey. A more affordable option for couples near Tokyo is Ryokan Tokinoniwa in Kusatsu Onsen. Hotel Tenzankaku Kaiyutei and Livemax Resort Kyotango Sea Front are nice onsen hotels near Kyoto and Osaka.

Today I thought after finishing my lunch that saying “Thank you for the food” in Japanese can actually be a bit confusing. Especially if you have just started to learn Japanese since there are two different phrases. You have probably heard “Itadakimasu” and “Gochisousama deshita” before from anime like Naruto, but which one should you say before eating and which one after the meal? “Itadakimasu” (頂きます) is the phrase Japanese people usually say before eating. It means “Thank you for the food” but literally translates as “I humbly receive this meal”. “Gochisousama deshita” (御馳走様でした) and “Gochisou sama” (御馳走様) also mean “Thank you for the meal/feast” but are said after eating.
