Insider hotline to the best Tokyo onsen | CNNGo.com
While the word “onsen” conjures up images of springs bubbling in sylvan valleys, there’s no shortage of superb soaks in and around the capital city.

For a wild experience, you can head to a southern island; for a historic one, to a famed resort; and for those times you just want to relax in the company of neighbors, there’s always a local sento bath. They’re all here -- right in the Big Ringo.
