All 159 photos on this site come from Wikimedia Commons, used under the licence named on each. Click a photo for its Commons file page, the author for the same page and the licence for its terms. Town photos show an onsen town or its surroundings — never a specific inn. The other photos are atmosphere shots or real notices from places that are not in our data.
