Hot springs or onsen (温泉) are naturally ocurring pools of warm water that players can find throughout the game. Resting at a hot spring heals William fully and bestows a buff that slowly restores his Life for 120 seconds. Hot Springs negate all status effects, including helpful ones like Divination.
Hot spring or Onsen are loved throughout Japan and have been so for the entirety of recorded history. The cleansing and purifying of the body through bathing is a tennant of Buddhism, yet Shinto and local folklore associate hot waters from the springs as gifts from the gods.
To this day, hot springs in Japan are considered beneficial for several pains, aches and ailments, based on the mineral composition of the water and the volcano it may originate from.

Hot Spring Trivia
- Partway through the game William ditches his boxers for a pair of traditional Japanese underwear called fundoshi
- Each hot spring is limited to one use. Exiting and re-entering a level will reset them
AnonymousI don't know how, but I managed to get all 20 of them in order in my first playthrough of the game, without looking at any guides. Lucky me, I guess lol

does using hotsprings in other peoples worlds/yokai realm count towards the trophy?
Videos of each hot spring location are preferable, but I added in text descriptions to get things started.
In The SpiritStone Slumbers you can bring Ginchiyo with you to the Hot Springs and she has some reactions to seeing aswell as you using it in front of her
