Natives may already have an idea on how beautiful their onsen is - in fact, even those residing in the said country would regularly visit hot springs just for the sake of admiring the real beauty of their country, as a way of relaxation and as a perfect time and getaway vacation to spend with their family, friends and / or people that are close to their heart.

On the other hand, for tourists and for those who are planning to travel and visit Japan, you should never miss these two things: their hot springs and their very famous sake or rice wine. If you haven't heard of it before, I suggest that it is time to explore upon your arrival in the said country. If you are looking for the best destinations or the most wonderful hot springs in Japan, Google Maps is always a great place to begin your search with. Also, you can read various blogs or travel tips on how you could find the best onsen (Japanese do not have plural forms) or hidden springs that their great country has to offer.

The Soul of Japan is a blog which talks about all the great things that you could see in the said country.

This blog is already perfect for natives but haven't really had the chance to explore the wonders of their country. Before you go anywhere else, why don't you visit their famous onsen, taste their rice wine (sake) that they are proud about, their cuisine that will bring out your appetite, Mt. Fuji and many other destinations and places that would make the country a "must visit".
