Morning Bath Culture of Kawayū Onsen
Experience morning bathing in the strongly acidic hot spring that gushes at the foot of Sulfur Mountain, mingling with locals. A hot spring town with remaining public bathhouses featuring free-flowing source water.
Kawayū Onsen in Teshikaga Town is a hot spring town nestled at the foot of Sulfur Mountain (Atosanupuri). The strongly acidic hot spring with a pH of around 1.8 has high sterilizing power and is said to be effective for skin conditions. At the public bathhouses frequented by local people, there is a well-established culture of enjoying morning baths from 6 AM, and travelers can also participate casually. Strolling along the Yu River that flows through the hot spring town also has great charm. In winter, diamond dust can sometimes be seen.
