In a traditional onsen, bathers follow a specific etiquette to maintain a serene and respectful environment. Upon arrival, guests typically disrobe and store their belongings in a designated area. They then proceed to the bathing area, where they rinse thoroughly before entering the hot spring bath. In this communal space, guests often practice mindfulness and relaxation, fostering a sense of tranquility and connection with nature. A strict separation of men's and women's areas is customary, promoting a serene and respectful atmosphere.
Insider tip — In Obihiro, Hokkaido's agricultural heartland where butter, cheese, and butadon pork rice bowl are local obsessions, Oberiberi Onsen Suikoen draws its name from the Ainu-origin place name of this Tokachi Plain settlement; the water garden park (suikoen) setting among Hokkaido's flat agricultural vistas offers a distinctive contrast to the mountainous onsen scenery elsewhere in Hokkaido.
