In Japan, onsen, aka hot springs, bubble up everywhere, and for hundreds of years Japanese people have enjoyed them mainly for health benefits and socializing. Bathing at onsen is a great way to enjoy Japan—not just to try the various types and experience their reputed beneficial physical effects, but also to enjoy their natural settings and perhaps a leisurely stroll around the spa towns where they are often located. You might also be surprised to find that onsen waters come in different colors, green or black, for instance; many such waters are thought to help smooth the skin or relieve back pain. So, whether you’ve never tried onsen before or are already an enthusiast, it’s an experience not to be missed and one that you’re likely to enjoy.
