Japan Onsen and Hot Spring Tickets
You do not have to stay overnight to use a Japanese hot spring. Day-use admission is normal, and a few of the bathhouses here are placed exactly where a long layover hurts most — near Narita and Haneda, open through the small hours, with an airport shuttle. Others, like Kurama north of Kyoto, are a half-day trip out of the city.

Frequently asked questions
Can I enter with tattoos?
Rules differ by bathhouse and many still refuse visible tattoos. Check the individual product page before booking.
Do I need to bring a towel?
Most day-use facilities rent or include them. The listing says which.
Is bathing mixed?
Almost always separated by gender. Swimwear is not worn in a traditional onsen.
