Enjoy Onsen Culture In Safety
Coronavirus has left many onsen fans worrying whether dipping into hot springs could endanger their safety. According to experts, the risk of the virus transmitting in onsen is very low (read more here). However, Enjoy Onsen understands that sharing spaces with others remains a major concern. That’s why we want to suggest a few Japanese-style inns or ryokan with private onsen where you can minimize the risk and enjoy the waters in peace. For those looking for Oita onsen ryokan, luckily, Beppu has some of the best ryokan with private onsen that you can find in Japan.
