The Yunessun Spa Resort in Japan's Hakone Prefecture has a special offer on for Valentine's Day, giving their guests the chance to literally bathe in chocolate. Twice a day, staff dressed up as pastry chefs pour a litre of chocolate into each tub, and all over the visitors. Guests can take the chocolate and rub it over their body, or over their friends and family. However, as tempting as it may be, visitors are warned not to eat the chocolate.
