Misasa: Sacred Pilgrimage to Sanbutsuji Temple and Koitani Bridge—A Stroll Through the Hot Spring Town

A traditional Japanese day course for two, exploring Sanbutsuji Temple on Mitoku Mountain, famed for its National Treasure Nageire-do nestled in a cliff grotto, and Misasa Hot Spring (三朝温泉), renowned as one of the world's premier radon-rich thermal spas. In the morning, help each other navigate the vine and chain slopes during a pilgrimage hike to behold Nageire-do seemingly floating on the cliff. Solo entry is prohibited, making this ideal for a pair. After enjoying the local specialty horse chestnut mochi at a dining hall near the temple, spend the afternoon exploring the misty hot spring town. Visit Misasa Shrine where hot spring water flows in the purification basin, soak your feet in the free foot bath at Kabu-yu, the original bathhouse marking the town's origins, and conclude by stroking the kajika frog statue on Koitani Bridge—affectionately called the "Love Bond Kajika Bridge"—to wish for good fortune in love. With every step, your bond deepens—the perfect romantic day for two.
