    Leaving Saturday for Essence of Japan. Wondering about bringing a sports coat?

      A sport coat is not necessary, and most of the men did not have one.

      No clothing is worn in the onsens, not even a swimsuit. I suggest some Google research on what to expect. That is what I did, and it made me more comfortable about the experience.

      Thanks; I did that too and it has helped us understand and get prepared and excited for the adventure. Since I have you, crazy question: were there coffee pots in the rooms at the hotels? My wife needs her coffee in the am. Thanks and Happy travels!!

      I think all of the hotels had some sort of pod coffee maker. Not sure about the Onsen.
