Onsen is the Japanese name for a hot spring. Due to Japan’s geographical location, natural, mineral-rich thermal waters rise from beneath the surface to supply these hot springs. These volcanic waters are believed to provide health benefits such as relief from stress, skin problems, muscle aches, and other ailments. With a recorded history dating back to the second half of the first century, onsens have upheld strict onsen etiquette. Fortunately, this traditional experience has withstood the test of time, remaining popular with today’s young and old. Over 2,000 onsens can be found all over Japan, ranging from outdoor and indoor baths to the more modern and quirky onsen theme parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
