Golden Week may have arrived, but that doesn't mean everyone has elaborate travel plans -- some may be too busy, while others hate the crowds and shun the absurdly expensive air tickets during the holiday season.

People who fall into this category and still want some rest and relaxation have the option of hopping over to one or more of the various spa facilities that recently have opened or been renovated in urban areas.

These facilities are now aiming to bring in women and families amid intensifying competition. The result -- comprehensive spas and hot spring facilities right in your neighborhood.
