How to do Japanese Onsen (adventures inside a traditional Japanese public bath)

What this video shows

From the guide “Japan Public Transport Guide: Trains, Subways and Buses”: Japan's trains, subways and buses are easy to use once you know three things. Pay with a paper ticket or a tap-to-pay IC card. Follow station signs that use line letters, numbers and colors.

The guide goes on: “1How Japan's public transport works”. In big cities, many different companies run the trains. Fares differ by company and by region ⓘ JNTO. So one trip can mean paying two companies.

From the guide “Onsen near Tokyo: Hakone and Gunma trips compared”: For onsen near Tokyo, start with your departure station and the bath's entry rules. Hakone-Yumoto has a direct reserved-seat train from Shinjuku; Gunma offers several different hot-spring towns.
