I've been to
LaQua and while it's in a mall, centrally located and accessible, 99% of the visitors are locals... It's still an authentic experience, imo.
Gotcha. That was probably relayed wrong.
What I was trying to ask if I want to get a true experience outside of Google says "You must visit an onsen when you visit Japan for the first time". I think I relayed that incorrectly in my reply to thread.
Appreciate the info!
