We went to a place called Suminoe which has a few large arenas for golf, water sports and bowling but we went to the onsen (public bath) you pay 600 yen (about £5 currently), you take all your clothes off and go and lay in a load of very hot baths heated by the hot springs below. Before all you men get excited, the baths are separated by gender (but apparently not all of them are!!) so you only get to look at naked men which is mostly fairly terrible. Apparently it is an honour to be asked to clean someone's back (like your boss etc) but fortunately the friend I was with already regarded me as close enough without cleaning his!! It was quality and something we could do in England to relax and unwind. There was an outside bath as well which was nice because the wind was cold but the baths were hot. There was also a sauna and massage facilities. For obvious reasons I did not take any piccies of it (and no - it wasn't because I am embarrassed to appear naked on the internet!). I have included a picture of the golf driving range instead.
