Discover Hotels with Natural Hot Springs in Tokyo

Stamps

Onsen, or hot springs, are an integral part of Japanese culture. As a volcanic country rich in geothermal resources, Japan is home to more than 2,900 hot spring areas nationwide. While many are located in scenic rural regions, Tokyo also offers hotels with their own natural hot spring sources. Soaking in onsen drawn from deep underground is a special experience that allows you to fully appreciate the natural blessings of the land. With their deeply relaxing effects, onsen are also ideal for soothing tired bodies after a day of sightseeing. In this feature, we introduce six hotels in Tokyo where you can enjoy an authentic onsen experience.
*For information on onsen and public bath etiquette, please see the article below.

Tips: Tattoo Cover-Up Stickers

Stamps

In Japan, some onsen and public bathhouses may restrict entry for guests with tattoos. In recent years, however, more facilities have begun allowing entry if small tattoos are covered with cover-up stickers. While special cover-up stickers may be available for purchase at some facilities, it is recommended to buy them in advance at drugstores, variety shops, large retail stores, and 100-yen shops for added peace of mind.
