Insider tip — Nose Onsen lies in the wooded hills north of Osaka in a quiet town known for autumn foliage. The sodium-chloride spring water is drawn from a deep sedimentary aquifer and leaves the skin with a pleasant saline film that retains warmth for hours after bathing. The surrounding cedar landscape and rural quiet stand in sharp contrast to the metropolis less than an hour away. Weekday afternoons offer the most peaceful experience.
