Concluding Your Journey with a Free Foot Bath Stroll in the Hot Spring Town with Drifting Hot Spring Mist
About this spot
A premier hot spring resort in Okayama Prefecture, nestled in the mountains upstream of the Asahi River, with rising hot spring mist. The compact hot spring town, lined with inns, restaurants, and souvenir shops along the riverbank, is easy to navigate and perfect for a day-trip leisurely stroll. The hot spring town features a free foot bath where the warmth of the hot spring slowly soothes your feet after a day of walking. The river and hot spring mist viewed from the bridge, hanzaki sculptures, and traditional shooting galleries add to the charm characteristic of a hot spring town. Known as a famous hot spring with abundant hot spring water, even without staying overnight, you can fully absorb the atmosphere of the hot spring resort through the foot bath and town stroll alone—a fitting conclusion to your day.
Tips
A free parking lot is available near the hot spring town entrance. Remember to bring a towel for the foot bath. In the evening, as day-trippers diminish, the town grows quieter and more atmospheric, with shop lights illuminating the hot spring ambiance most beautifully.
Best time to visit
About 1 hour 20 minutes needed. The time of dusk when hot spring mist and streetlights blend is ideal, offering the most fitting ambiance to conclude your day.
