onsen
Anxious over how many people will be seeing your naked body? This cute and clever system will ease your nerves.
Japanese onsen ryokan adapts to the new normal after being in business for over 1,300 years.
This crowdfunding effort is for anyone who wants to recline at home in the luxury of a silky onsen yukata.
A touching, and delicious, gesture to show appreciation to everyone who sent in manga donations.
Onsen’s management asks social media to keep hate to a minimum while it believes in the goodness of Demon Slayer fans.
Into the water off the beaten path.
Less than $US40 a night gets you two luxury meals and a room with a private rotenburo bath attached.
