💡 Tips for Visitors

The area has a strong sulfur smell which is natural and part of the authentic hot spring experience. Most facilities are cash-only, so bring yen with you. Visit early morning for fewer crowds and to see the steam rising dramatically in cooler temperatures; limited English signage available but the site is easy to navigate.
