Book Reviews of Japan's Hidden Hot Springs
Book Review: For the purist
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is somewhat like the dead sea scrolls of onsen -- it is cryptic, out of date, idiosyncratic -- yet nonetheless powerful.
In this book are a unbelievable gems that you would otherwise never, ever, find by yourself. Japanese people are often shocked that you found such a place. But they can be hard to find; and sometimes disappointing or abandoned.
The date of this book has had its effects. I place that was "slow" 15 years ago can now be a spooky crumbling ruin (especially in Hokaido). Other places have sometimes gotten better.
Bottom line: a manual for the onsen purist. You really don't know what kind of place you'll reach using this book, but I can guarantee it will be a real adventure.
