Welcome! OnsenExpress is devoted to helping travelers obtain reliable information on Japan's hot springs. OnsenExpress went live in early November. For the next four to six weeks, the site will be fully functional, but in the background, we will be tinkering.
We invite you to comment on the site, its navigation, content, art, and overall usefulness. Help us make OnsenExpress better by spending time noodling around the site and reporting back -- tell us what's working and what needs fixing.
Because we are in a beta stage, be prepared for the possibility of a tiny bug or two -- and please note that we are still factchecking our write-ups, so consume OnsenExpress content with that in mind.
Soon, the OnsenExpress Travel Desk will be ready to help you make advance reservations at hotels and ryokan in Japan.
If you are interested to know more, contact us and we'll let you know you when the Travel Desk opens. Read more...
