Unfortunately, not everywhere can be like Guam, with a balmly constant 30 degree temperature perfect for swimming. The best way to deal with winter in Japan is to find an onsen, and, I’m going to say it, Wakayama has the best!

Wakayama, though only slightly south of Osaka, is often overlooked as a destination. Searching for some relief to winter’s chill, I brought along some friends to seek out some of Japan’s best, and oldest natural onsens.
