A trip to Japan would not be complete without trying the onsen or the natural hot springs that abound in the country. Each region has its share of hot springs and they come in varied types with the water also in different colors such as black, white, green, red and brown. They have been enjoyed by the Japanese for hundreds of years now.
Hot springs provide health benefits owing to the minerals found in their water. And being hot, they keep the body warm and promote mental relaxation.
