Tsukioka Onsen: Hot Spring Town Stroll and Shibata Castle Town
In the morning, spend quiet time in the castle town at Shibata Castle, where white-walled turrets reflect in the moat, and at Shimizu Garden, a daimyo's garden. In the afternoon, move to Tsukioka Onsen, famous for its emerald-green sulfurous waters, and leisurely enjoy direct-sales-shop gourmet cuisine, a park with bell chimes, and a stroll through the hot spring town with noren curtains. This one-day course is perfect for female travelers and couples who prefer ambiance over extravagance—a walk that relaxes the heart with every step.
