In a traditional Japanese onsen, bathers immerse themselves in a serene and tranquil environment, fostering a sense of relaxation and community. Guests typically follow a specific etiquette, removing their shoes before entering, and washing their bodies thoroughly before bathing. The onsen is a sacred space where individuals let go of their daily worries and rejuvenate their spirit, often in the company of friends and family. Respect, modesty, and cleanliness are deeply ingrained in this cultural tradition.

Insider tip — 'Ofunade no Yu' (great-sailing-ship waters) at Hyuga Sun Park Onsen. Hyuga faces the Pacific Ocean and was historically the landing place of Jimmu — the legendary first Emperor of Japan — according to mythology. The maritime name honours this seafaring heritage. The Pacific-facing outdoor baths have stunning ocean views.
