Best Onsen in Japan!

In this video, I introduce 3 of my favorite hot springs (Onsen) in Japan.
All of them are located in very inconvenient places but definitely worth visiting if you want to deep dive into the real onsen culture of Japan!

The onsen pictures in the video are all from the official websites.
Taking photos in the bathing area is strictly prohibited, so please be careful.

As I mentioned in the video, they will be very crowded on weekends.
My advice is to visit them on weekdays or book and stay the accommodation overnight
so that you can enjoy onsen at night and early morning free from tourists.

To know more about each onsen, check the links below.

====================================

I am not a big fan of hot springs in well-known tourist destinations or well-equipped hot springs in hotels.

Rather, I prefer wild, natural hot springs that are inconveniently accessible, sparsely populated, and unspoiled.

Such hot springs are located near volcanoes and are characterized by a strong sulfur smell and cloudy white water.

Here are some other recommendations in Nagano area.

1,  Hakuba-yari Onsen
