A rare museum nationwide dedicated entirely to hot springs, covering everything from how hot springs emerge to their mineral qualities, hot spring rankings, and bathing culture.

Outside, there's a walking bath where you can immerse your feet while walking, perfect for a break during your exploration. The compact museum is easy to include in a date without taking up much time.
