Flow of the course

About this spot

Ureshino Hot Spring is a historic hot spring resort with roots dating back to the Nara period, known as one of Japan's three premier beauty-enhancing hot springs. The hot spring town features long-established inns, tea houses, and souvenir shops lined along the streets, and simply walking through allows you to experience the charm of a hot spring town. As one of Saga Prefecture's leading tea-producing regions, you can enjoy specialty dishes such as soft-serve ice cream made with Ureshino tea and tea soba at various spots along the street. The famous hot spring tofu has the distinctive characteristic of melting smoothly due to the hot spring's mineral composition, making it a must-try dish for lunch. Before the evening excitement of the fireworks festival begins, take your time strolling through the calm afternoon hot spring town.
