Indulge in a private onsen bath. Even though you can always visit an onsen town as a day trip, a stay overnight is highly recommended. Stay longer if you can if you want to fully take in the experience, in fact! Some of the ryokans come with private onsen, and these places may not necessarily be expensive. Soaking in an onsen by yourself , or with your loved ones, can be therapeutic as you take this personal time to recharge or reconnect with your loved ones. For those absolutely rejecting the idea of a public bath, the option for a private onsen may be available so do check with the local tourism office. In any case, one can still enjoy an onsen town even without a public bath! #japan #onsen #onsentown
