Atsugi Onsen is a diverse hot spring hub in Atsugi city, the largest inland city of Kanagawa Prefecture, situated in the Sagami River valley at the eastern foot of the Tanzawa Mountains, serving as the de facto capital of the Kanagawa highlands. The bicarbonate and chloride-enriched mineral waters combine skin-softening alkaline properties with the warming, mineralizing benefits of salt waters, creating a comprehensive therapeutic profile valued for musculoskeletal comfort and general wellbeing. Atsugi is known for its production of textiles and for the silk industry that flourished here in the Meiji era, and the city's blend of modern commerce and mountain proximity makes it a practical and comfortable thermal destination in the Kanagawa interior.

Insider tip — Atsugi Onsen draws water from two distinct aquifer layers beneath the Sagami River valley, yielding an unusual blend of bicarbonate and chloride minerals appreciated for its combined skin-softening and warming properties. The city serves as Kanagawa's inland hub, flanked by the Tanzawa-Oyama Quasi-National Park to the west. Atsugi sento culture is among the most vibrant in inland Kanagawa.
