Soak in a private forest onsen
To reach this incredible private onsen, you walk 120 steps down through the forest. The onsen itself is cut into the rock right next to a mountain stream, offering complete privacy. It's just you, the sound of the running water, and the hot spring. It's a truly secluded forest onsen experience, perfect for escaping the crowds.

Private outdoor onsen — This rock-cut outdoor hot spring is built into the forest next to a mountain stream, offering complete privacy. You walk 120 steps down to reach it, ensuring a secluded experience with just the sounds of nature.
Oven-warmed towels — After your soak, you'll find towels kept in a 'Hotcabi' (a literal oven) in the corner. They're fresh out of the oven, allowing you to wrap yourself in warmth the moment you step out of the water. I wrapped myself in one and stood in the forest for ten minutes, it was amazing.
