Title: Good luck finding any of these places
Review: "Hidden" is the opperative word here. Unless you're a backpacker with lots of time to take local buses AND are able to speak Japanese, I don't think your average tourist could find any of these places. They seemed really off the beaten track, many in the mountains or up in northern Japan.The book (I had the 1995 edition) didn't even have a good map of the country! I found the organization very confusing with little guidence as to good hot springs visits outside the major tourist cities.A British friend and hot spring enthusiast who spent six months in Japan also said this book was too difficult to use.If you're a backpacker get the Lonely Planet and if you can afford a few $300 nights in an Onsen (it's worth it), get the Price book "Classic Japanese Inns.If you actually live in Japan, with a car and some language skills, you might like this book.
