Rest at the park where carillon bells ring, then continue directly into a leisurely stroll through the hot spring town
About this spot
A verdant park in the corner of Tsukioka Onsen town, with a carillon bell tower as its symbol. Expansive lawns and flower beds create a serene setting, and the clear chimes of the bells telling the hour resonate through the hot spring town. It's perfect for taking a break on a bench during your walk, and from here you can venture into the alleyways beneath noren curtains in the hot spring town. Tsukioka Onsen is renowned for its emerald-green sulfurous waters, and in the evening, you'll see people strolling through the streets after their bath. This is the perfect way to conclude your journey by slowly savoring the ambiance of a hot spring town.
Tips
The park has free admission and is within walking distance of the hot spring town. Small shops throughout the town offer free foot baths, hot spring water for drinking, and tastings of local sake and sweets, so bringing a small towel and coins expands your enjoyment. In the evening, the breeze becomes cool, so having something to layer is reassuring.
Best time to visit
Approximately 2 hours. A stroll through the hot spring town toward evening has the most charm.
