Kashiwara Onsen Osaka

Kashiwara, in the southeastern Osaka Prefecture at the foot of the Yamato Highlands bordering Nara, is the location of the Omiwa and Katsuragi mountain hiking network's western approach and the site of the ancient Yamato Road — one of Japan's oldest highways connecting the Kinai political heartland of Nara with the Osaka Bay port facilities — preserved in the city's historical townscape. Kashiwara Onsen Osaka draws on sodium and bicarbonate thermal waters from the geological resources of the southeastern Osaka mountain fringe, offering restorative baths at the foot of the Yamato Highlands where the mountain scenery of the Katsuragi range, the ancient Yamato Road historical heritage, and the easy Kintetsu railway access to both Osaka and Nara create a well-positioned spa destination on the Osaka-Nara highland corridor. The Katsuragi and Yamato mountain hiking trail access from Kashiwara, the ancient Yamato Road historical traces of the earliest Japanese highway culture, and the Kintetsu Osaka Line providing direct access to the Nara UNESCO heritage sites and Osaka Namba create a thoughtfully positioned natural and historical spa destination in southeastern Osaka Prefecture.
