Time to take a dip! A journey to Japan's most beautiful onsen

Steam rises from the water, a small stream murmurs somewhere in the distance, and wooded mountains stretch out behind the pool. Few experiences connect Japan, nature, and a slower pace of life as directly as a visit to an onsen. And anyone who has ever sat in a rotenburo—a Japanese outdoor bath—quickly understands why bathing in hot springs in Japan is so much more than just wellness.

9 Dishes You Absolutely Must Try on Your Trip to Japan

Anyone who thinks they know Japanese food very well from their own home country will be in for a big surprise on their trip to Japan. Of course, everyone knows sushi, ramen, and tempura, but these are just a small part of an astonishingly diverse cuisine. Japan stretches for thousands of kilometers from Hokkaido in the cool north to the subtropical islands of Okinawa. In between lie mountains, fertile plains, cities with millions of inhabitants, small fishing villages, and coastlines bordering several different seas. And almost everywhere, unique culinary traditions have developed. Even those who enjoy sushi in Japan will be very surprised by the variety of fish species and the purist approach to preparation.
