A historic hot spring area spanning from the Edo period, situated near the entrance to Matsukawa Gorge. The hot spring town features a free foot bath that gently soothes feet tired from gorge exploration. On festival day, street stalls line the hot spring area, making it an ideal spot to grab dinner while waiting for fireworks to begin. Due to its high elevation, the air becomes crisp and cool once the sun sets, heightening anticipation for the evening fireworks.
Tips
About 10 minutes by car from Matsukawa Gorge. It's convenient to bring a towel for the foot bath. The evening can turn cold, so have a light jacket ready.
Best time to visit
Takes approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. The sight of hot spring mist and sunset glow around dusk is particularly memorable.
