HOME > Japan Onsen Guide
What are onsen?
Japanese locals have known since ancient times that the most relaxing and therapeutic thing to do in Japan is soak in an onsen, or hot spring, and let the volcanic heat and natural minerals of the spring water ease away stress and tension. The term onsen has come to mean not only the hot spring itself, but the resort area and bathing facilities built around each spring.
With more onsen than any other country, every visitor should take a dip while in Japan. For the true onsen experience, a stay at an onsen ryokan also lets travelers partake of gourmet Japanese cuisine amidst traditional architecture and beautiful views, and is not to be missed!
Enjoy Japan's hot springs all year round!
Invigorate yourself in the healing waters of an onsen surrounded by pink clouds of cherry blossoms
Relax after an active day exploring the mountains and beaches of Japan
Pamper yourself with the culinary delights of Japan's fall harvest
Warm yourself against the chill amidst lightly falling snow

From the majestic landscapes of Hokkaido in the north, to the distinctive springs of Kyushu in the south, there are over 3,000 hot spring towns across Japan. We've brought you a list of the finest hotels and ryokan at Japan's most famous springs.
