Yes — as of the latest update, each hotel listed had at least one room available in the next 3 days. However, availability can change fast.

Q2. What’s the difference between private onsen and public onsen?
Private onsen means either an in-room open-air bath (usually fed by hot spring water), or a bookable bath facility that can be reserved just for you. Public onsen are shared and usually separated by gender.

Yes. We provide price comparisons across all three sites so you can book with whichever platform you prefer.

Q6. Are tattoos allowed in these onsen facilities?
Rules vary by property. Some onsen accept tattoos, while others may ask guests with tattoos to cover them or use private baths. We recommend checking with the hotel in advance.
