The Finest Onsen & Sauna in Japan
57 SELECTIONS
Most of what we surveyed never even made it onto this site. This book is a further cut from what did. Our editor bathed in every onsen and sauna in it, and wrote only what they confirmed on the ground.

A sauna journey is about more than just moving between the sauna, cold plunge bath, and outdoor relaxation. Every trip comes with its own stories. This week, I enjoyed a sauna adventure in Osaka. I'll share memories from each facility, along with episodes that only I could write.
Every stop on this itinerary was visited in person by the Editor-in-Chief.
