One of Shikoku's oldest hot springs, a quiet mountain village. Inns and bathhouses are scattered along the stream, and even in summer, cool air and steam create a distinctive atmosphere. This visit is a day-trip stroll, walking leisurely through cobblestone paths and streamside buildings to experience the unhurried pace of mountain village life. Simply walking while viewing wooden structures and old signs reveals the coolness different from urban areas. Feel the atmosphere of this historic hot spring town before moving on to the valley walk.

The hot spring town has slopes and stone steps, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended. If you wish to take a day-bath, confirm operating hours and holidays in advance. Summer humidity is high, so stay hydrated.
Best time to visit
Approximately 40 minutes required. Around 2 PM when the sun is less strong is easiest for strolling.
