There are two national past time in Japan, one is watching baseball and the other is natural spring bathing. After a stressful week at work, there is no better place to go than to a Japanese ryokan for a nice quiet weekend and at the same time soak in the many hot springs in Japan.
A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn that is located at almost every corner of Japan. Although ryokan is easily located but their location are mostly near places of historic significance or surrounded by beautiful landscapes. The best part about ryokan is that they have at least a communal bath, which is generally for separate sex bathing. Many excellent hot spring resorts are known as onsen.
