GETTING INTO HOT WATER Throw a dart at a map of the Izu Peninsula and you'll likely hit an onsen, or hot spring. These naturally occurring geothermic sources are the primary reason Japanese tourists flock to the Izu, and rightly so: the baths, often attached to hotels, make for a stress-killing date with relaxation.

...prodding we also paid a visit to the famous Aurora spa, hoping to experience one of Issyk-Kul's other attractions: the mud bath. But it was not to be.
