Japanese spa in the Shenandoah Valley?!

According to the Dec. 14th edition of the Washington Post, there is a new Japanese bath and breakfast in the mountain community of Star Tannery, which is just north of Strasburg, Va. The Pembroke Springs Retreat is a bit out of my (and probably your) price range as rooms are $165/night for the weekend. But, you get to bathe in 104 -degree water, which overlooks a nearby hill. And, in the morning you can get an authentic Japanese breakfast which consists of grilled salmon, steamed rice and soup, seaweed and mixed vegetables. Walter Floyd, the co-owner, said that half the guests were either Japanese or people who had a Japanese interest of some sort. One of those guests was Washington DC resident Noriko Miyagawa who told the "Post" that was 'in heaven.' For more info, call 1-888-348-1688 or log on to http://www.pembrokesprings.com
