Common questions
Which Japanese ski resorts have an onsen?
149 ski resorts in Japan have an onsen recorded nearby — 310 hot springs in total. 42 of them have an onsen within 1 km of the slopes, including Hakuba Cortina, Tangram Ski Circus, Naeba, GALA Yuzawa, Akakura Kanko.
Can you ski and use an onsen on the same day in Japan?
Yes — this is normal in Japan. 42 resorts have a hot spring within 1 km of the ski area, so you can walk from the last lift to the bath. Nozawa Onsen alone has 13 free public soto-yu bathhouses in the village.
What is the difference between a public onsen, a ryokan onsen and a private onsen?
A public onsen (soto-yu) is a communal bathhouse, often run by the village and sometimes free or donation-based. A ryokan onsen is the bath inside a traditional inn, usually for guests. A private onsen (kashikiri) is a bath you book for your own party — the usual option if you have tattoos or are travelling as a family.
Do you need to be naked in a Japanese onsen?
Yes. Bathing is done unclothed and gender-separated, after washing thoroughly while seated at the taps. The small towel never goes into the water. These are the only real rules and nobody expects visitors to know them in advance.
