18 Mixed-Gender Onsen in Japan (With & Without Swimwear)

Sometimes travelers shy away from visiting hot springs and especially mixed-gender onsen when visiting Japan. So I wanted to write a post with detailed information about 18 unisex onsens to help you overcome the mental hurdle and enjoy an amazing and relaxing time with your friend or partner. Takarawaga Onsen Osenkaku is the best mixed-gender onsen if you want to wear a bathing suit. If you want to do onsen hopping and try out many different hot springs Shin-Hotaka Onsen in Gifu Prefecture and Minakami Hot Spring Village in Gunma Prefecture near Tokyo are your best choices.
