It's a common knowledge that Japan is a volcanic island, that's why there is a great number of hot springs called onsens. They are located all over the country and attract attention of both Japanese people and tourists from other countries of the world. According to our onsen review, there are almost 150 Japanese hot springs and approximately over fourteen thousand individual springs.

Natural Japanese hot springs are rather enormous in number and highly popular all over the country as well as abroad. Every region of Japan has its own particular share of resort towns and various hot springs. There are many types of Japanese hot springs which are primarily distinguished by the minerals and other items dissolved in the water (because different elements are supposed to provide people with different health benefits).
