Odaiba Ōedo-onsen-monogatari

Visiting an Onsen, meaning a hot springs bath, is a very traditional and popular way for Japanese people to relax and pass their time. Although there are a number of baths that once can visit in Tokyo, I recommend taking a train to the nearby mountain towns, such as Hakone and Kusatsu, to get the full experience. It's worth noting that there is a strict etiquette to follow at an onsen though.
