There are many hot springs in Japan,
There are well-maintained hot springs in hotels and accommodation facilities, day-trip hot spring facilities, public baths managed by local residents and open to tourists, and, although they are few in number, there are also open-air baths, known as "notenburo," which are bathtubs in the middle of nature with almost no buildings, which is part of the original hot spring landscape.

There are many hotels and day-use bathing facilities that have open-air baths.
Some countryside hot spring facilities offer lodgings where you can enjoy the Japanese atmosphere of over half a century ago.

Many hot spring towns have foot baths that warm just the feet.Some of the more unusual hot springs include a steam bath that uses the steam from the hot springs, and a sand bath where you can warm yourself in sand that has been heated by the hot springs.
Many hot springs are located in places that are difficult to access by public transportation. Sufficient advance planning is required. We recommend using a custom-made plan from a travel agency with extensive experience.
