About OnsenView

OnsenView is a guide to Japan's onsen towns for travellers. We gather YouTube videos of onsen towns and real ryokan stays, organise them by region, onsen town and ryokan, and write our own introduction, access notes, routes and sights for each town.

Where the content comes from

• The organisation and the text of the pages are ours. Every fact about an onsen town on its page has been checked against official sources (tourism associations, local governments, transport operators and so on); the sources and the dates we retrieved them are listed under "Sources" at the bottom of each page.
• The short notes next to each video are written by AI from the video's title and description and may contain errors.
• Ryokan facilities (in-room bath, private bath, family stays, dinner style) are compiled from the descriptions of stay videos and may be wrong or out of date. Check with the ryokan or the booking site before you book.

Videos and photos

• The videos belong to their YouTube channels, which hold the copyright. They play in YouTube's official embedded player; we don't download or alter them.
• Photos of the onsen towns come from Wikimedia Commons; authors and licences are credited on each page.
