A definition of Onsen...
Traditionally,
you usually experience Onsen in a very rustic, open-air
natural surrounding. The Hot springs resorts in Hakone
are not only rich in history, but are also known for
the healthy mineral content of their natural hot springs
water.
Technically, an Onsen, in Japan, is defined by the temperature
of the water, usually with a temperature over 25 °C and
should contain 19 essential minerals designated by the
Japanese Environmental Agency. Also the water must have its origins from a volcanic spring.

You are only to go inside the
bath tub after you fully washed your body. First, you are
to rinse your body with hot water. Washing beforehand
helps to keep the water in bath tub clean.
The rinsing and washing of your body with hot water
also acclimatizes you to the actual temperature of the
bath tub. It is not advisable to jump into the water
like diving in to a swimming pool. Please use discretion.
Bring with you the small towel that will be provided
with you and please do not put the hand towel into the
bath tub water. Most people place the towel on their
head. And remember do not use any soap or shampoo or
other skin cleansers in bath tub.
