Atsushio Onsen

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

About a 20-minute drive from the city center of Kitakata. Nestled quietly in a serene mountain valley, 'Atsushio Onsen' is a historic hot spring said to have been opened by Zen Master Gen'o, 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 saw great popularity from the Meiji to early Showa periods.

■ Surprising 65.5 degrees! A 'hot' and 'salty' mysterious spring

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

• The power of the salt water: The mineral-rich 'salt water' creates a thin veil of salt on the skin, preventing moisture evaporation.
• Exceptional moisture: Boasting outstanding moisturizing and warming effects, it warms the body from within.

■ Reliable efficacy that has gathered faith as 'Shoshi no Yu'

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

• Childbirth spring: It has a history of being revered as 'Shoshi no Yu (Childbirth Spring)'.
• Ultimate relaxation: Enjoy an exquisite relaxation time as you breathe in the fresh air of nature and immerse yourself in the medicinal waters that have flowed for about 650 years.
