The area around Kirishima, Japan in Kagoshima prefecture is geothermally active. Many of the hotels in the area and you can see many rocks and signs along the road covered in sulfur from the steam vents. This pool I found in the middle of the woods off of a path in the forest. I was able to rest my feet in the spring which was the temperature of a hot bath.

Wonderful Pic!!! But I think, the best place with geothermal vents is Budapest .
And the feet don't look so bad neither >.>
But seriously, geothermal vents are always really cool.
Wooow, very nice photo, the spring looks really warmy and the rock with that warm water looks really attractive.
