Insider tip — Fukiage Rotenyu (吹上露天の湯) is legendary among Japanese onsen enthusiasts — a completely free, gender-mixed (konyoku) outdoor wild bath in the lavender country of Kami-Furano. The spring bubbles up from the volcanic ground at high temperature; there are no facilities whatsoever. Visit at dawn for the most solitary experience — it can get crowded midday in summer.
