What’s your favorite onsen in Japan? What makes it best? Share your story below. Do you think this will help me live to 100? Great collaboration with Greg LIFE WHERE I’M FROM, check out the other side of this video after giving this video a 👍 : th-cam.com/video/1a295p7LzKE/w-d-xo.html -John ٩( ᐛ )و
I went to the sand onsen in Ibuski which you had profiled on your previous channel. Where one's enjoyment is solely based on the skill of the shoveler: My travel partner was being burned from below and just wanted it to be over, whereas I was warm and cozy from all sides and never wanted to get out.
No, sitting in low pH is really bad for your skin and kills all your good bacteria. Its pretty nonsense to think that sitting in hot water makes you live longer. its simple human physiology tbh
@@onlyinjapan I feel guilty not paying to watch these haha. But thank you for inspiring and letting us feel as if we’re in Japan during these lockdowns.
one of my fave onsen is at Shin Hodaka Yamano hotel.. you have to take an onsen elevator across the hotel.. on a slope to get down there.. imagine wearing robes and walking in chilly winter weather .. the onsen is worth it! beautiful views of mountains and also streams... even better when is started snowing!
Those are the experiences one never forgets! I remember riding naked with a group of men in an elevator to a bath - weird, weird, weird - and awesome. At night too. Only in Japan.
Great video, John, thank you so much for sharing! Last year we stayed at Kashiwaya Ryokan in Shima Onsen, Gunma, and it has become one of our best memories of that journey. It's not cheap but we wanted to have that luxury experience at least once on our adventure in Japan. The beauty of that wonderful ryokan (apart from the amazing staff, delicious food and beautiful surroundings) is that they not only have a large public bath but also three traditional private open air onsen. And even more luxorious: we stayed at one of the two rooms with our own in-room open-air bath! For those who are very shy (like me) and still want to have an traditional onsen experience, this is the perfect onsen. And there's no problems with tattoos because of this!
I wish I’d had more video from there but it was right after I fell and destroyed my leg 🦵 filmed that through a lot of pain but glad I did. It was incredible!! Pricey hotel, glad they gave us access even though we were guests. The hospitality of Tohoku!
I'm watching this on a particularly cold morning in the UK and wish that I could go to an onsen! Guess a hot shower will have to do the trick in the interim!!
Every time I go to Japan, I always do 温泉 めぐりtour for 3 months using my japan rail pass, i starts from Hokkaido ends up in Kyushu (Kagoshima). So far my favorites are Noboribetsu onsen in Hokkaido, Tsuro-no -yu in Akita, Kusatsu-onsen in Gunma-ken, Zao onsen (Zao dai rotenburo )in Yamagata-Ken and Kirishima onsen in Kagoshima. I like onsen that has a free flowing from the source 源泉かけ流し
I always enjoy your edited episodes, John -- your reporting is thorough and I always learn a lot. Thanks for this one -- it's a great introduction to the popularity and benefits of onsen!
Love the Japanese hot Springs! I am currently traveling all over Japan and visited many different ones and i will visit many more! I love Arima and Beppu :) I can't wait to visit the places more north of japan.
I was confused when you weren't on the old channel anymore (first I thought it was a Corona break), but I am so glad that you continue your amazing videos!
They’re not very good at saying “thank you” over there 😂 I hope the videos I made explaining the new channel here helped and - WELCOME to a new adventure!! -John *\(^o^)/*
Tsurunoyu is spectacular in winter as well. There is a shuttle bus service that runs between the other Onsen in the area. I'd recommend Ganiba Onsen - it has a nice outdoor bath in the middle of the forest.
I really needed this for such an episode. I’m certainly not qualified to give such info and Japan Spa Association was so helpful. Dr Maeda may be in the show again in another onsen video :) I don’t know if I prove it will keep you living longer but I think we say it’s an important thing we can do with loads of benefits for the skin and body.!
@@onlyinjapan that's why you look young John 🤣🤣🤣 Im just hoping someday you can make a video about the life of a celebrity in japan o making super sentai shows..idk if it will cost you a lot of money🤣🤣🤣 I hope not just a short interview
Here is a Fun Fact for you: We live in Banff, AB, Canada, about 500M from a natural thermal hot springs. About 50 years ago a resident built a pond at his property (search Wheeler House, Banff). He put Gold Fish from a pet shop in it, and they lived year round in the water that did not freeze. Parks Canada demolished the buildings on he property about 11 years ago, but did not destroy the pond. I caught one of those Goldfish about 20 years ago from the pond, and placed him in a hexagonal style tank in our living room (filled with RO water). The life span of a Goldfish in Wheelers environment is 2-5 years. We named him 'Wheeler' and to my amazement, he is still alive today. I often wonder why 'Wheeler' exhibits this amazing life span living in water that was not oxygenated until recently, and often can have elevated nitrate levels because I am negligent with regular water changes.that will reduce the ammonium build up. I never thought you'd become attached to a Goldfish, but after 20 years, I really do not want to find Wheeler floating when I get up in the Morning. Watching your video, I can't help but wonder if Wheeler's longevity might have some clues in the subjects you cover in this video. Perhaps I should make my own video about 'Wheeler'.
The new channel is not suggested much on TH-cam - not yet anyway 😉 it’s going to be fun as people discover the new channel and loads of new episodes to binge watch!
🙏🏽🙏🏽 thankful no injuries during this onsen visit. Great job as always John. I always enjoy all of the information your videos contain 👍🏽 blessings to ALL. Have a wonderful day/night 💛
What a great video!!! Thank you John for sharing us with your unique view how beautiful is japan!! I really appreciate all the effort and love you put into it!! Greg and you did a great collaboration together!! 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
John, What a fantastic video. You have really outdone yourself on all levels with this episode. The camera work and drone footage is breathtaking. The interviews and narration are very informative. Everything just comes together! The real question is, did those onsen waters help with the recovery of your knee? 🤣🤣🤣
The one I’m in with Greg at the end - is 3 minutes AFTER it happened, there! 😆 ouch! The forest onsen is also 1 hours after - in pain but got the shots limping.
I think those waters both caused and cured it 😂 like the crane 🐦 who healed it’s broken leg and wing sitting in the bath. Still waiting for the ability to fly!
I went to the resort town of Nisseko Japan and enjoyed snowboarding in the beautiful surroundings there. What was particularly nice was that the hotel I was staying at had an onsen built into it. It was incredible to come back after some hard, early season snowboarding and then soak in the onsen. You can't get better recovery from hard play and effort than that. Great episode, there could even be a whole series itself on the different onsens in the country of Japan, I wish we had them here in America (affordable and available to the general public like many are in Japan).
Always happy to see another onsen-episode, but would love one specially geared towards people with tattoos. Since many westerners coming to Japan are confronted with this issue, I imagine a video like that would do well.
Check out the site Tattoo friendly which lists all the ryokan, onsen, sento and gyms that allow tattoos. John has explained previously that this old way of thinking is on its way out. Young Japanese are getting tattoos and forgoing the onsen experience. To stay viable, the industry is changing.
What a great watch! You've covered all aspects in this one in a way that is both informative and fun! I didn't know there were so many types of onsen and hearing the physiological and psychological effects onsen can have may very well be the answer to the episode title. Lol with Greg at the end! 🤣 Well done John! 👍 Now I need a soak!
This was such a joy to watch! I can just close my eyes and imagine soaking in those hot onsens. I wonder how often the average Japanese person actually uses them? I’d be in Heaven. The quality of this video is amazing. It’s all so stunningly beautiful.
Another fantastic video to brighten my day. I've started studying Japanese, and your videos keep me motivated to keep through when it gets tough. Cheers and thanks for the stories, John.
So this is what you were doing in all those livestreams huh, nice work, these videos gives a different perspective from the livestreams. One can tell how professionally they are made. Good Job. Hope my Japanese studies finish quickly so that I can make trip there.😄
The live streams are often supplemental to the work he his doing for his edited content. I see people complain he should do less live streams and focus on edited content like this. It's just that it takes time to edit and live streams are the bonus material / back ground on what's likely to come next on this edited channel.
Never go to japanese onsen, but every onsen in this video looks so beautiful to the point where i wanted to cry like a little kid for wanting to go to each one of it 😭😭😭
Wow excellent work John ! Probably your best professional montage. I had to laugh when you showed various onsen enjoyed by and featuring you, followed with a quick transition to monkeys enjoying the onsen too, lol. I love and respect animals as you do. I liked the informative sections, and notice the very well selected and blended music more than once. This is worthy of prime air time on TV. I don't know if your live stream is your bread and butter but definitively keep doing these montages You will get recognition higher up.
Love the animals here - even the crows, sometime. Live streaming makes me happy and helps me connect with our community in a new, closer way. It’s an amazing tool to feature something NOW. This is story telling :) I love it.
@@onlyinjapan thanks for the reply. Doing what makes us happy is important ! I learned that the hard way. Before I had a job i hated, around people i didn't like even though it was paying well it was taking a toll on me mentally and physically as i am someone who needs plenty of sleep, leisure time, and hobby to recharge and it was unrelenting high stress leaving me with no time left. But now in my entrepreneur work I have time to feed song birds out of my window some even come inside. Did you know crows are songbirds but their croaking sound isn't very melodious, is it ? You're good at imitating it. :D Live stream is good sometimes and sometimes not that good. Good live streams require preparation and planning, it seems. Total improvisation without prepared content can be boring. I know you like interacting with live viewers, i have to say sometimes it annoys me when there is too much of it. I am more interested in content than other people's reaction and teasing.
Another great video! Keep them coming. I wish I could soak in a onsen today. It’s cold and sitting in a chair in front of a laptop all day does a number on my back. Nice soak would be super relaxing!
I can totally believe that every onsen is unique. I felt like I had that in one of them in Fujinomiya. It was inside a generic hotel building but one of the onsens was connected to the outside as the roof only had bamboo on it with air gaps. So I was basically sitting in the warm onsen on a light rainy night and I had the whole thing to myself. And it was honestly so relaxing. I also have minor feet problems so after a long day of walking, sitting in an onsen really helps my feet heal.
With cooperation and mutual understanding, the world benefits. Japan's hot springs (and hot spring culture) are a unique world heritage worthy of respect and appreciation.
These places relax me even just watching from a screen. I can only imagine how it must feel being there. John, I missed your well researched, fun & carefully edited episodes quite a lot. Best of luck with this new channel! 🍀🍀

Just listening to a spring is so satisfying. What a beautiful, peaceful, magical crossover this is
hello again avery 👋
Wife and I stayed at Tamagawa 2 weeks ago - fascinating, unique, strange, and sad
There is literally nothing in the world better than a good Onsen
A good ones PLUS a few things would make it better. Kanae was totally jealous! She has to come next time 👩🏻 then it’s perfect.
