What people say

Chris Raney

"An amazing private Onsen (hot spring bath) in every room of this traditional Japanese hotel! This is definitely one of the most unique onsen hotels that I have ever stayed in! The Yufuin Gettouan Hotel is located in Kyushu Japan in the Mt Aso region and only has 18 rooms. Full hotel tour and more tips in my video linked below."

Japanese Onsen & Hot Springs

A living list of the best Onsen hotels that I've stayed in, as well as a couple of public hot springs you can experience and some educational information & videos about how to best enjoy them. Onsen come in two forms, hotels (ryokan) and public baths. All the hotels mentioned in this list are Japanese style hotels, with tatami sleeping mats. Each hotel recommendation has a detailed video walk through to show you the room and other parts of the resort experience.
