If there were a survey and asked what would be the most favorite pastime to do in Japan, most people would say onsen or some would say sento.  To start, there are actually two types of bath houses in Tokyo and all throughout Japan, that is onsen and sento – although there’s an obvious similarity between the two and that is they’re both hot water bath and as usual visitors must adhere to certain rules of etiquette – however there is a significant difference between the two: onsen are filled with natural volcanic spring water, known for its rich and healing mineral content while sento just simply use heated tap water (although some nowadays do add mineral and infusions to the water).

We all know that Tokyo is actually packed with bath houses, but it would usually take time to find one that suits your needs – just like finding the perfect partner for you is quite hard right?  But worry no more, let me take you to Tokyo’s best onsen spots that will help you find your favorite sport.

Onsen comes in many types and shapes that includes outdoor to indoor baths, it’s either they are publicly owned by the municipality or privately included as part of a hotel on which you can access it.  Traditional onsen were located outdoors, although a number of inns have now built indoor bathing facilities as well.

Etiquette

  • Ensuring cleanliness – just like a swimming pool all guests are expected to wash and rinse themselves thoroughly before entering the hot water.  Don’t worry, for your convenience bathing stations are fully equipped with everything that you need.
  • Swimsuit – bathers are not normally allowed to wear swimsuits in the bath.  However, some modern onsen with an included water park atmosphere require their guests to wear a swimming suit in their mixed baths.
  • Towels – guests generally bring a small towel with them to use as a washcloth.  The towel can also provide a fragment of modesty when walking between the washing area and the baths.  Some onsen allow one to wear the towel into the baths, while others have posted signs prohibiting it.
