Tsukiyono Onsen

Tsukiyono Onsen is a peaceful hot spring village in Minakami Town, Gunma Prefecture, nestled in the Tone River valley surrounded by the forested mountains of the Joshinetsu Kogen National Park, where the combination of hot spring bathing and the Minakami area's exceptional outdoor recreation has made this part of Gunma Prefecture one of Japan's most acclaimed all-season nature tourism destinations. The siliceous thermal waters here offer restorative mineral bathing in a community that values the traditional rhythms of rural onsen culture, where small ryokan inns and local bath houses maintain the unpretentious warmth of Japanese hot spring village hospitality. Tsukiyono's position within the Minakami International Onsen Resort Zone, along with its scenic riverside location in the Tone valley, provides visitors with an authentic and tranquil alternative to the more developed onsen towns of the region.
