In this episode, the whole family goes to a little mountain resort town to stay in a traditional Japanese Ryokan. Listen as they soak their weary feet in an onsen filled by natural volcanic hot springs. Hear them boldly soar above an active sulfur mine in a cable car. This place is kinda weird. And cool.
