Hot spring and day-trip bath guides
What makes a day-trip onsen unforgettable often comes down to the view from the bath itself. This guide selects 8 open-air baths across Kanto (1 metropolis, 6 prefectures) and Kansai (2 urban prefectures, 4 prefectures) organized by scenery type, with side-by-side comparisons of admission fees, hours, access, and best times to visit.
