I’ve always been fascinated by how different cultures approach relaxation, especially with my interest in Japanese traditions. The onsen ritual seems like such a deliberate practice taking time to soak, reflect, and disconnect. For men who might not always prioritize self-care, do you think these structured cultural practices make it easier to address stress? I’m curious if anyone has personal experience with how regular onsen visits or similar rituals have affected their mental clarity or emotional balance. What aspects of these traditions do you find most beneficial for managing daily pressures?
