Japan's Hidden Hot Springs

Meer over het boek

Easier to get to than many might imagine, Japan's hidden hot springs are among the few remaining repositories of ancient Japanese ambience and sensibility. Bucolic and charming, they bear little resemblance to the sterile, clinic-like spas of the West or to the concrete jungles of Japan's best-known onsen towns. The hot springs introduced here belong to another time but they are disappearing fast. Discover them before it's too late through this selective, personalized, and authoritative guide.
