:)  Hello all,
I'm an Aussie, married to a Ni hon jin, we travel to Japan every year and like to explore new and unusual onsen, sento's etc
pretty much anywhere we can chill out/ warm up with out the need for clothes or at least Yukata.
Last year spent a week in a Toji onsen on Aso-san, really beautiful area and friendly people. I speak limited Japanese and a konyoku bath really pushes my nihongo to it's limits. This June we are back in Japan traveling from Osaka to Tokyo and back to Nara, so people bring on the suggestions, I prefer konyoku bath while my darling wife prefers woman's only (I prefer konyoku because people seem to be more talkative in mixed bath) I've sat thru some pretty long male only baths in awkward silence 
cheers
