Insider tip — In Hinoemata, one of Japan's most isolated villages deep in the Uonuma mountains of Fukushima, Onsen Goya (hot spring cottage) is a rustic treasure in a community famous for its centuries-old Kabuki theater tradition; the sulfurous mountain spring, performed drama, and pristine beech forest wilderness combine to make this one of the most authentically remote onsen experiences in all of Tohoku.
