Circe had actually never been to Japan, or much of Asia and the east for that matter. This was actually a bit surprising given her age of being over ten thousand years. One would think that a person that old, especially one so well versed in magic, would be a world traveler, but she wasn't. Yes, she had been places; various major cities in the United States and most of Europe, but visiting other places such as South America, Asia, or Africa had never truly been on her list of travel destinations. Not to mention some gods and deities of varying degrees didn't quite like their lands being invaded by 'rival' pantheons, and some tended to remember the very old saying of 'those who are not Greek are barbarians'.
But, the goddess had decided to venture into the relative unknown and actually spend a few days, perhaps longer in one of the very nice luxury resorts they had in Japan. One of the good things about this country is that people were more accepting of... outlandish looks. Circe had no need to wear a disguise or change her hair color. In fact, she had received more than a few compliments about the purple shade, which gave the goddess a good chuckle especially when asked the specifics of the dye she used.
The resort was lovely and quiet, tucked out of the way and, due to the season, had few other guests. Few guests meant fewer questions and that was just the way Circe liked it. Nevertheless, she preferred her alone time whenever she could get it. Human mortals were just.... they occasionally got on her nerves. Which was why she enjoyed taking a dip in the resort's hot springs late at night. No one was around and the cool night air made a wonderful counterbalance to the warm, steamy waters. The goddess let out a contented sigh as she slipped down into the waters, letting every ache and worry wash away with the heat.
