Onsen Etiquette
Everything You Need to Know Before
Your Soak in Niseko
Niseko is famous worldwide for its incredible powder snow, vibrant village life, and delicious cuisine. But long before it became Asia’s snow capital, Niseko was celebrated for its natural hot springs, or onsen.
Nestled in a volcanic and mountainous region, Niseko boasts rich geothermal springs filled with healing minerals. The area’s onsen history dates back to the late 19th century, when sulphur mining at Mt. Iwaonupuri led to the discovery of these natural baths. The first onsen opened in 1885 near Mt. Chisenupuri, and since then, the region has grown into one of Hokkaido’s premier hot spring destinations.
How to Enjoy Niseko’s Onsen: A Quick Etiquette Guide
Experiencing an onsen is a unique and relaxing tradition, but it comes with customs that help keep the experience enjoyable for everyone. Here’s what you need to know:
Clean Yourself
First
Before entering the hot spring, wash your body thoroughly at the shower stations. This keeps the shared water clean and safe.
No Swimwear
Allowed
Onsens are enjoyed naked. Modesty towels are provided to cover yourself when walking to the bath, but swimsuits are not permitted.
Keep Your Towel Out of the Water
Use your small towel to cover yourself outside the bath or place it on your head while soaking—never dip it in the onsen water.
Maintain a Quiet, Relaxing Atmosphere
Avoid loud talking, splashing, or swimming. Onsens are peaceful spaces meant for relaxation.
Tattoos May Be
Restricted
Many traditional onsens don’t allow visible tattoos. Check ahead or use waterproof tattoo covers if needed.
Stay Hydrated and
Avoid Alcohol
Drink water before and after your soak. Avoid entering the onsen if you’ve consumed alcohol for your safety. Drink water before and after your soak. Avoid entering the onsen if you’ve consumed alcohol for your safety.
