Sozu Hot Spring (SOZU温泉) / Nishiki Palace (錦パレス)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A secluded inn near Sozu Gorge Hot Spring Station (雙津峡温泉駅), the end point of the Tokotoko Train. Sozu Gorge Hot Spring is a quiet hot spring area nestled in the mountains, where the inn welcomes guests for footbaths and meals, making it perfect for spending the trolley's layover time leisurely. Surrounded by clear stream and mountain village scenery, a stroll while listening to the babbling of the river is a delightful moment. During the time until your return journey, relax in the lobby after bathing, gaze at the river from the bridge. These moments of doing nothing, sandwiched into the middle of a transportation-focused journey, make the entire day all the more memorable.

Tips

Confirm the reception hours for the footbath in advance. It's wise to bring your own towel. Before heading out for a walk, be sure to check the departure time of your return Tokotoko Train so you won't be rushed.

Best time to visit

Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes. Spending the early afternoon leisurely before the return journey is recommended.
