]]> Have you heard of Japan’s onsen, aka hot springs? If not, you’re in for a treat. Onsen are scattered across the country, each offering a unique setting for relaxation. These geothermal wonders provide many therapeutic benefits and breathtaking views. Here’s your guide to some of the best hot springs in Japan.

Hakone: A Gateway to Mount Fuji

Hakone is a popular destination for visitors looking to enjoy hot springs with a view of Mount Fuji. Just a short trip from Tokyo, it provides a variety of onsen experiences, from private baths in ryokans (traditional inns) to public bathhouses. 

Beppu: The Hot Spring Capital of Japan

Located on the island of Kyushu, Beppu features one of the highest concentrations of hot springs in the world. It is famous for its Jigoku, which are several spectacular hot springs for viewing rather than bathing. You can also enjoy sand and mud baths as part of your spa experience. 

Noboribetsu

In the northern island of Hokkaido, Noboribetsu offers a dramatic landscape. Steam vents, sulfurous streams, and other volcanic activity make it an otherworldly destination. The hot springs here are acidic and rich in minerals, reputed to have healing properties for various ailments.

]]> Hot springs, or onsen as they are called in Japan, are an important part of Japanese culture and they have a very long history in this country. Japan is home to more than 3,000 onsen resorts and visiting at least one of them is a must for every tourist visiting this country. However, the onsen is not your typical hot spring or spa, so here are a few important rules you should know before visiting one.

Wash Before Entering

The first thing you want to do is to wash your body thoroughly before entering the baths because this is a must in every onsen in Japan. Every onsen has a shower area where you are required to wash.

You Must Be Naked

There are only a few onsens that will allow bathing suits, but in most of them, you will be required to be completely naked. Also, keep in mind that you are also not allowed to dip a towel or your hair in the water.

No Tattoos

Japan has a complex relationship with tattoos because they are associated with the mafia. That being said, tattoos are strictly forbidden in most onsens, but people with smaller tattoos can cover them with a bandage and should not have trouble getting in.
