OnsenQuest

The editor’s ten

Every onsen here was visited in person, and scored the same way each time: the view from the water, the water itself, how comfortable it is, how far it sits from a town, and how easy it is to reach. Numbers one, four and seven are still empty. That is the point of the list.
