箱根 天山湯治郷 (YouTube link ) SHINFURO：Synchronized Swimming in Hot Springs (YouTube link ) Hakone Onsen Hakone (箱根) is one of the most popular onsen (hot spring) towns and has a history of 1200 years. Visitors can enjoy a hot spring bath in public bath houses or ryokan . Many ryokan open their baths not only to staying guests but also to daytime visitors. While staying guests can use the baths for free, daytime visitors pay an admission fee of typically between ¥500 and ¥2000. Waiting area ( まちあい / 待合) View from the waiting area Personal Experience On 11/19/2018, I have decided to spend the day on a hot spring bath at Tenzan (天山⭐⭐) because it was raining. As usual, you are not supposed to take pictures or video inside the bath. I'll just refer you to Tenzan's official web page to see what to expect at the bath. The pictures on their web site are exactly you would experience if you were there. My impression at the bath was speechless...
