Kamiyu onsen

Hidden deep in the misty valleys of Totsukawa, Kamiyu Onsen is a secluded riverside hot spring famous for its highly alkaline, skin-smoothing waters. It offers a truly rustic, off-the-beaten-path experience where you can soak in open-air baths directly alongside the rushing river. Expect a peaceful, no-frills atmosphere surrounded by dense forest, far away from Japan's crowded tourist hubs.
