Japanese Spa Lets Customers Swim In A Pool Of Red Wine

The Yunesson Spa Resort of Hakone, Japan offers the stuff of dreams — and by that, I obviously mean a giant outdoor pool filled with Merlot. How do they get that much wine in a pool? By pouring it from a 12-foot-tall bottle, of course…

While there’s definitely the novelty of diving head first into gallons of merlot, red wine also has a slew of anti-aging skin benefits — especially because it contains resveratrol, an antioxidant that stimulates cell proteins known as sirtuins, which promotes longer cell life in the body.

But if wine isn’t your cup of tea, the Japanese spa theme park has a pool filled with that too, along with hot tubs of sake, ramen noodles, and coffee for your swimming pleasure.

See Shark Bite Woman Suffers While At The Beach

38-year-old Cristina Ojeda-Thies suffered a shark attack while swimming off the popular resort of Gran Canaria. She tweeted a photo showing the scars on her hand where the shark had sunk its teeth,

‘Today I’ve had a face to face meeting with a shark. Things that happen when you swim in the Canaries in December.’ she tweeted.

Authorities feared the incident could impact tourism and downplayed the incident. Fernando Frias, president of Canary Islands Shark Alliance which promotes shark conservation, said the incident is a ‘one-off’. ‘I doubt something like this will happen again in the next 50 years so people shouldn’t be afraid.’
