Field notes
The homepage offers several ways into the directory: search by town or prefecture, browse a map, or start with featured onsen towns. Listings distinguish allowed, covered-only, not-allowed, and other-condition policies; recent examples show admission prices and check dates. The guide says its information is sourced from baths, cities, or tourism associations, and cautions that prices and opening hours can change.
