About
Gyors tények: Steam curls from a milky turquoise pool that smells faintly of sulfur, and temperatures often hover close to boiling as minerals streak the water vivid green. Exploring a restored public bathhouse reveals vintage wooden tubs, interactive exhibits on bathing rituals, and a surprising glimpse into how hot-spring culture shaped everyday life.
Kiemelkedő helyek: Stand close to the steaming pool and you'll smell sharp sulfur, see milky turquoise water hovering around 80°C, and watch thin steam curl up while the ground quietly hisses like a hidden kettle. Inside the century-old public bathhouse built in 1913, original wooden tubs and Japanese-era tiles are on display, and a local habit lives on where people crack eggs cooked in the hot spring vents and eat them warm as they stroll the gardens.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable, non-slip shoes; boardwalks around the valley can be wet and slippery.
- Bring a light jacket and a mask if you are sensitive to sulfur scent, especially on windless days.
- Photograph the valley from the wooden viewing platform at golden hour when steam backlights the pools.
- If short on time, stroll the outdoor viewpoints and skip the full guided museum tour during peak hours to avoid lines.
