Japan has over 3,000 hot springs across the country, and a rich hot spring culture with different water qualities and atmospheres in each region.
Hakone, easily accessible from central Tokyo; Kusatsu Onsen, one of Japan's Three Great Hot Springs; Beppu Onsen, boasting the largest number of hot springs in Japan; atmospheric Yufuin; Arima Onsen (Hyogo), known for its gold and silver springs; Noboribetsu Onsen, surrounded by Hokkaido's magnificent nature; and Dogo Onsen (Ehime), a famous hot spring with a history dating back to ancient times.
Each region has "its own history, built alongside the gushing hot springs."
Hot springs are more than just places to bathe; they are a uniquely Japanese world of healing, combining nature, culture, food, and relaxation.
Enjoy a special time as your mind and body are soothed.
