313 Places Japanese Locals Actually Named — The Full Index
Japanese travel advice in English is written almost entirely by visitors. This index is not: every one of these 313 places was named by a Japanese person, in Japanese, in a public comment section, with other Japanese people voting on the answer. We went through 75 of those comment sections, translated 1,110 comments, and indexed every place that came up — by city, with the article and the source video behind each one.

Hidden Onsen Near Nagoya: Locals Say Aichi Has Exactly One "Real" Onsen — and Name 20 More Baths
Ask Aichi locals about their own hot springs and the consensus is brutally honest: under a local geography channel's onsen rundown (145 comments), the verdict is that only one bath in the prefecture — Owari Onsen in Kanie — counts as a truly free-flowing onsen, and the top comment (71 likes) is a 40-year regular calling it a Shōwa-era time slip. Then the thread turns into a working map: locals add more than 20 baths by name, from a business hotel in central Nagoya with its own hot-spring source to a weekends-only hidden spring deep in the mountains, and log closure reports on 8 baths — while half-joking that Aichi's real strength is super sento. Several would simply send you across the border instead.

Onsen, According to Japanese Onsen People: Where They Soak, How They Book, and What They Skip
Most onsen guides are written by visitors who went once. This one is aggregated from the people who go monthly: Japanese comment sections where regulars name the baths they actually use, correct the listicles, flag what's closed, and hand over their booking tricks — every number below is a real like-count from a translated Japanese comment.
