What We Can Help With

  • Corrections and updates. If a price, schedule, or policy has changed since we published an article, let us know and we will update it promptly.
  • Editorial inquiries. Questions about our coverage, requests for interviews, or media collaboration.
  • Reader questions. While we cannot plan individual itineraries, we are happy to point you toward the right article or resource.

What We Cannot Help With

  • Booking reservations. We are an editorial publication, not a booking service. For reservations, please contact the onsen facility or ryokan directly.
  • Visa and immigration questions. Please consult your country’s embassy or consulate in Japan.
  • Medical advice about onsen therapy. We provide general information about toji traditions, but specific medical questions should be directed to a qualified healthcare provider.
