Ten no kawa Hot Spring
About
Nestled in the sacred mountains of Yoshino, Ten no kawa is a serene public hot spring famous for its therapeutic, skin-smoothing carbonated waters. What sets it apart is its traditional firewood boilers, which heat the mineral-rich baths to a soothing, natural warmth. Visitors can expect a beautifully rustic bathhouse featuring indoor stone pools and a tranquil wooden outdoor bath surrounded by forest air.
Insider Tip
Bring your own towel to save on rental fees, and pair your bath with a scenic hike along the nearby Mitarai Valley trail.
