Motegionsen Tochigi

Motegi, in the Haga district of Tochigi Prefecture, is internationally recognised as the home of Twin Ring Motegi, the Honda-owned motorsports circuit that hosts the Japanese MotoGP and SUPER GT championships and draws racing fans from across the world each season. Motegionsen Tochigi draws on sodium and bicarbonate thermal waters from Tochigi's geothermally active subsurface, providing relaxing baths that offer a serene counterpoint to the high-octane energy of the adjacent motorsport circuit. The surrounding Satoyama farmland of northern Tochigi, with its terraced rice fields, firefly streams, and traditional kominka farmhouses, creates a deeply Japanese rural backdrop for thermal bathing.
