Onsen 100 selection

Onsen (Hot spring), yes, has caught people’s interests.

People such as Onsen lovers tend to go more local Onsen spot like a hidden hot spring. One hundred Onsen spots were selected in articles written by the famous onsen critic Tadanori Matsudaon on Nikkei Newspaper from April 2000 to Mar 2002. It is not necessarily the case that a spot having good source of onsen has been flourished but many spots might have kept good onsen facilities, old scenery and cultural climates. Kotodamaya has tried to keep gathering information of Onsen 100 selection in Jan 2011.

  1. The info posted is good, but I think a little more research is needed!

      Yes, you are totally right. Even in Japanese, it is hard to gather and research those information.
      But the most important thing as information on Kotodamaya.com is location and list. I will do all until the end of Feb!
