Check the following recommendations as inspiration for planning your trip!

In Japan, there is a deep-rooted etiquette for enjoying hot springs, which centers on showing consideration for others sharing the bath. Knowing this etiquette is also part of the cultural experience! Here, we introduce some general guidelines to follow. 1.Please avoid bathing after consuming alcohol. 2.Before entering the bath, make sure to rinse off any dirt by using the shower and soap. 3.Keep your hair and towel out of the bath water. It is considered impolite to enter the bath in a swimsuit or underwear. 4.Diving or swimming in the bath is not allowed. 5.When using the shower or wringing out towels, take care not to splash water on others. 6.Before leaving the bath area, wipe off excess water from your body with a wrung-out towel. 7.The use of smartphones and taking photos is prohibited in both the bath and dressing room areas. Besides, having tattoos may often restrict access to public baths. It’s recommended to check the rules on the official website of any hot spring facility you plan to visit. Recently, some facilities allow guests with tattoos if they are covered with stickers. Additionally, selecting an accommodation with a private bath attached to the room or opting for a reservable private bath are great options for tattooed guests to enjoy the onsen or hot spring. Located in Hyogo, Arima Onsen is a recommended hot spring town for travelers coming from Osaka or Kyoto. It’s not only one of Japan’s three best historical hot springs, but also stands out for its easy accessibility. Dating back to around the year 600, Arima Onsen offers a unique experience with two distinct types of hot springs: Kinsen, a reddish-brown spring rich in iron, and Ginsen, a clear, radon-infused spring. These springs differ remarkably in appearance, scent, and feel. Be sure to try both at the public baths Kin-no-Yu and Gin-no-Yu to fully appreciate their unique qualities! * “Kin-no-Yu” and “Gin-no-Yu” are both tattoo-friendly.
