Insider tip — Awakura Onsen is a tranquil historical spa village in the Tsuyama highlands of Okayama Prefecture, where alkaline simple thermal waters have been prized for their skin-softening properties for centuries. The village retains traditional ryokan architecture that immerses guests in authentic Meiji-era ambience. The Yoshii River flows near the baths, adding the sound of rushing water to the sensory experience. Autumn maple foliage turns the valley into a tapestry of reds and golds between October and November.
