While our fleet don’t have bathrooms, this is Japan and we highly encourage our renters to enjoy the public baths and onsens that are essential parts of the Japanese bathing culture.
Hot springs have been used for thousands of years in Japan, once for their medicinal purposes as “toji.” They remain popular for their associated many health benefits to this day. Japan is home to many volcanoes, which is why there are more than 20,000 onsen facilities located across the country.
Experiencing various Onsens can become memorable moments of the trip and if you find a great hot tub, please tell us about it so we can share with our other renters.
Alternatively, our renters do just fine using campground facilities, convenience stores and public restrooms, and practicing “Leave No Trace” principles when dispersed camping. It is a matter of your own comfort level, but the freedom that overlanding travel gives you compared to RV’s is worth it for many!
