I'm a little bit addicted to going to onsen in Japan.

There are plenty of sites and pamphlets explaining how to visit an onsen like a pro. But how about a quick checklist of what not to do?

Texan in Tokyo superblogger Grace Buchele Mineta finally lays down the primary onsen caveat that nobody ever talks about.

Kawagoe is one of the few places in Japan where you can really see what cities used to look like, centuries ago.
