Sonikogenonsen Okame Hot Spring
About
Nestled in the highlands of Nara, this scenic onsen is famous for its skin-smoothing sodium bicarbonate waters and breathtaking outdoor baths. Visitors can soak in the open-air 'rotenburo' while enjoying panoramic views of the dramatic Soni Highlands and surrounding mountain peaks. It is the perfect, relaxing reward after a day of hiking the nearby golden pampas grass trails.
Insider Tip
Visit in autumn around sunset to see the nearby Soni Highlands glow gold, then soak in the outdoor bath under the stars.
