This is the mark for a hot spring. It's meant to show steam rising from a pool of water. 
Hot
springs can be found all over Japan, and
Japanese people love to soak in the
waters. Some of them are open-air pools.
Besides being very relaxing, hot springs
contain various substances that can help
to cure cuts or skin problems, high blood
pressure, and soreness. People often go
to hot springs for medical reasons.
