Q1 Where can I find an Onsen?

Onsen Ryokan (Japanese-style Inn), Hotels
Public Baths
Onsen Facilities(Theme Park style)

You do not necessarliy have to stay over night at a ryokan(hotels) to take a bath. There are many ryokan that offer their onsen facilities to non-staying guests(Higaeri). Usually the price is around 500 yen- 1000 yen. If you are not sure whether the ryokan(hotels) offer Higaeri Onsen, go to the front desk and ask
