I love onsen. Whenever my friends (japanese and non-japanese )and I go out, we always made sure that onsen is included in the itenerary. Some of nice onsen I've been to ( not so many yet ) are in Hakone -> Yunnesun, Kobe- Arima Onsen, Nagano - Nozawa Onsen, Mie Ken - forgot the name

im not allowed into Onsens b/c of my huge tattoo =(

I don't have any tatoo's.

I heard that peopel with tatoo's aren't allowed because of Yakuza.
