Atsushio Onsen

【About 650 years of history】 'Atsushio Onsen', which started from the divine revelation of Zen Master Genou, warms you from the core.

About 20 minutes by car from the city of Kitakata. Nestled quietly in a tranquil mountain area, 'Atsushio Onsen' is a historic hot spring said to have been opened by Zen Master Genou, who established Shigenji Temple in this area in the first year of Eiwa (1375) after receiving a divine revelation. It has long been cherished as a hot spring for healing, and it was very lively from the Meiji to early Showa periods.

The most unique point of this hot spring is the gap between its location far from the sea and its high temperature of 65.5 degrees, rich in salt content.

The warm feeling continues long after leaving the bath, making it beloved by those who have struggled with cold sensitivity for a long time.
