So, apparently you don't have to travel to Japan to experience a traditional Japanese hot-springs onset. Just to Santa Fe, New Mexico! Ten Thousand Waves is tucked into the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. You are surrounded by natural beauty as you sleep here, eat here, bathe here. It is a wellness retreat. We ate at the izanami restaurant and it was DELICIOUS! Not cheap (~$25/person for lunch), but DELICIOUS! All the food tasted so fresh and flavorful. It is served tapas style in that all the plates are small, so everybody orders 2-3 and shares. You can sit inside or outside. We chose outside so we could enjoy the scenery and they provide blankets upon request. The servers were very friendly, and don't leave without using the restroom! The toilet seats are heated and there are all kinds of "cleaning gadgets" as well ;)
Verdict: No. It's beautiful. It's relaxing. But it's not a "Must Do."
