Since most onsens in Japan don't allow tattoos, I'm thinking of staying at a "private" onsen. Anyone tried it?
Okay, let me elaborate. I'm planning a trip to Japan next winter and from all the information I can gather, most onsens do not allow tattoos, and I have a very visible one. I also heard the culture is changing in Japan slowly, but in the meantime I don't want to ruffle any feathers.So I was wondering if anyone has experience with visiting an onsen? I came across the option of going for a private onsen and it actually seems pretty appealing, except for the fact that it's way more expensive than the typical public option.The ones I've checked out so far on booking . com have been around the $300 per night range. I guess I'd have to make sacrifices on other parts of my 2-week trip in order to afford doing 1-2 nights in the private option, but I can't help but think that if I don't go to an onsen I'll be missing out on one of the "quintessential" Japanese experiences.Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide! via /r/solotravel https://ift.tt/2l5EbTO
