Onsen in Osaka
14 hot springs, 3 of which will take you with a tattoo, and 2 where you can bathe without staying the night.
Narrow it down
Tattoos are fine here
Ryokan you can visit just for the bath
No overnight stay required.
Ranked by what you are after
We score every onsen the same way — the view from the water, the water itself, comfort, how far it sits from a town, and how easy it is to reach — then weight those differently depending on what you want.
Best for the view
What you can see from the water.
Best water
For people who care what is actually in the bath.
