Public Bath Isawa Onsen (公衆浴場 石和温泉)

Flow of the course

About this spot

Leisurely stroll through the streets of Isawa Onsen, one of Yamanashi Prefecture's premier hot spring destinations. The hot spring town is equipped with public foot baths where you can soak for free or for a small fee. Before the fireworks festival, the daytime atmosphere is relatively relaxed, and at local fruit direct sales shops you can purchase seasonal peaches and grapes at local prices. Yamanashi's summer peaches have a reputation as among the sweetest in the nation, and comparing different varieties and enjoying local fruit juices is another highlight. This is a leisurely afternoon unique to a hot spring destination, building anticipation toward the night's fireworks.

Tips

The main spots in the hot spring town are concentrated within walking distance from Isawa Onsen Station. Check in advance with the tourist information office or the official Isawa Onsen Ryokan Association website for foot bath locations. Fruit direct sales shops may sell out items in the afternoon, so visiting early is recommended. Choose comfortable sandals or shoes for walking.

Best time to visit

Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes required. Early afternoon hours have fewer crowds and more abundant product selection at the direct sales shops.
