You can bathe in a hot tub full of red wine in Japan, and we’re booking flights immediately

Many people associate a nice glass of red wine with winding down after a long hard day – but probably because they like to drink the stuff, right?

Well, in Japan they’ve found another way to wind down with a vino rouge, and we’re totally into it.

At Yunessun Spa Resort in Hakone, Ashigarashimo District, you can bathe in a red wine hot tub, filled with either Merlot or Bordeaux.

Excuse us whilst we book ourselves flights immediately…

The ‘spa theme park’ is around 100km west of Tokyo, and its ‘vinotherapy’ become quite an attraction in the area.

The wine bath allegedly has anti-aging properties (although, we’ll take that with a pinch of salt). It’s the resveratrol (which is a group of compounds within the wine) which is meant to promote youthful looking skin.

It and also promises to be a relaxing experience, and, more importantly, a bit of fun.

You might scoff at the idea of bathing in a tub of vino, but the process was apparently enjoyed by Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt – and if it’s good enough for her, it’s good enough for us.

Now, we know what you’re thinking, surely everyone just wants to drink the wine in the tub? The good news is that the team at the spa have thought of the perfect incentive to avoid that, too.

Whilst you’re in the wine bath, you can pour yourself a glass from a giant hanging 12-foot bottle that’s suspended above you.

The fun doesn’t stop at wine, as the spa also offers similar experiences with coffee and green tea – perfect for any tee-total spa attendees.

The coffee experience features a hot spring bath filled with the drink, which is brewed at a low temperature and meant to “beautify skin” and energise visitors.

There’s loads more too. Like loads more. Think cave pools, saunas and steam rooms, plus, the kids can enjoy themselves at the spa’s Rodeo Mountain water slides, too. 

But let’s be honest, you’re going for the boozy spa features, aren’t you?
