You’re asking if hot springs (温泉) in Japan typically have a concept of “eat and stay” where you can dine and rest at the same location, and what is the typical cost.
Yes, many hot springs resorts or ryokans (traditional Japanese inns) offer eat-and-stay packages that include meals, accommodations, and access to their natural hot spring baths. These packages are often referred to as “pension” (펜션) or “ryokan-stay.”
The costs can vary greatly depending on the location, quality of amenities, and length of stay. Here’s a rough idea:
- Budget-friendly options: ¥3,000-¥6,000 per person for a day-use hot spring visit with some basic meals.
- Mid-range ryokans: ¥10,000-¥20,000 per person for an overnight stay (including dinner and breakfast) plus access to the hot springs.
- Luxury resorts: ¥50,000-¥100,000 or more per night for premium amenities like private bathrooms, high-end dining, and exclusive spa services.
Keep in mind that these prices are only estimates, and actual costs may vary depending on the location and time of year. It’s always a good idea to research specific facilities or contact them directly for the most up-to-date pricing information.
