💡 Tips for Visitors

Most remote onsen like Jigoku are cash-only, so bring sufficient yen as ATMs may be far away. Familiarize yourself with onsen etiquette (wash thoroughly before entering, no swimsuits, tattoos may need to be covered). English signage may be limited, so consider downloading a translation app or bringing a phrasebook to navigate facilities and rules.
