Toshoji Onsen welcomes bathers in Nikkō, Tochigi around sulfurous water, typical of the area's onsen. The water emerges at around 52°C. Facilities include an indoor bath, an open-air bath (rotenburo) and a sauna. A low-key address for a relaxing moment.
Insider tip — A hot spring in the Nikkō area of Tochigi, among the most sacred landscapes in Japan — home of the UNESCO World Heritage Tōshō-gū shrine complex. The sulfurous mountain waters pair naturally with a visit to the ornate mausolea and cedar-draped mountain paths of Nikkō.
