Insider tip — In the storied Shiobara valley of Nasushiobara, Pyramid Genki Onsen (vitality pyramid) draws on the same brine-rich sodium-chloride aquifer that has made this gorge a celebrated hot spring destination since the Meiji era; the pyramid building form is a striking architectural counterpoint to the forested canyon scenery surrounding it.
