Soon you'll be able to, after the mayor of a Japanese city announced the construction of a bizarre 'spa-musement' park when a viral video campaign for the project racked up over a million views. 很快你就能體驗這種感覺了。近日，一段呼吁修建“溫泉游樂園”的視頻走紅網絡，視頻瀏覽量累計超過100萬次后，日本的一位市長宣布將建設這一奇葩工程。

Yasuhiro Nagano, the mayor of Beppu city in the south of Japan, which is famed for its hot springs, proposed the spa and amusement park hybrid in a video posted to YouTube last week.
日本南部城市別府市以溫泉而聞名，該市市長康裕長野上周在YouTube視頻網站上傳一則視頻，提出了將溫泉和游樂園融合在一起的構想。

In the promotional clip, he said: 'When this video reaches one million views, we hereby pledge to construct an onsen (hot springs) amusement park in Beppu city.'
他在宣傳短片中說：“我們在此承諾，當視頻瀏覽量破百萬時，便在別府市打造一座溫泉游樂園。”

The video, filmed at Beppu Rakutenchi amusement park, imagines what the 'spa-musement' park might look like.
這段視頻是在別府Rakutenchi游樂園拍攝的，勾勒了溫泉游樂園的樣子。

In the clip, thrill-seekers can be seen wandering through the park in nothing but towels tied around their waists, and taking a family bath in the car of a Ferris wheel.
從視頻中可以看到，尋求刺激的人們僅裹著一條浴巾在園中漫步，一家人在摩天輪里泡澡。

One scene even shows roller coaster carriages filled with soothing spa water.
甚至有一個場景是過山車車廂裝滿了有舒緩作用的溫泉水。

The video quickly attracted more than one million viewers and the mayor has confirmed the park will be built.
視頻很快吸引了一百多萬觀眾，而別府市市長也已經確認將建造溫泉游樂園。

據RocketNews24報道，別府市市長在一份聲明中稱：“視頻上傳至YouTube網站后，短短四天內就達到了我們設定的100萬觀看目標，我們對如此迅速的反響感到驚喜。”

He added: 'I believe that, as one of the world’s best hot spring tourist spots, the appeal of having an onsen theme park in the town creates an opportunity for the citizens of Beppu, particularly young residents, to feel that “Beppu is fun” and have a sense of pride for their hometown.'
他還表示：“我認為，作為全球最棒的溫泉旅游景點之一，在別府打造的溫泉主題樂園帶來的吸引力能夠讓別府市民，尤其是年輕人認為‘別府很好玩’，還能讓他們對自己的家鄉產生自豪感。”

'We weren't expecting this many views, but we sure are happy,' said Michitaka Kubota, a spokesman from Beppu's tourist department told Japan Times.
別府旅游部發言人久保田通高對《日本時報》表示，“我們沒有期望過會有如此多的瀏覽量，不過我們當然為此感到開心。”
