About us
Discover Onsen has been a passion idea for us for years. Travelling in Japan to different onsen areas (villages) has been the go-to getaway for the longest time. But lot of the information for the internationals who do not speak much of the language has been very fragmented and difficult to find (most is about the bathing etiquette). With this site we hope to share much more about the culture, locations, water quality and etc. Hopefully you find the info here useful in developing more insight into the onsen scene and all that come with it!
