Insider tip — Nishikidani Onsen Seseragi no Sato, whose poetic name evokes a murmuring stream in a brocade valley, flows with a lightly alkaline thermal spring amid forested Oita hills. The simple water classification belies the facility's charm: an outdoor rotenburo overlooks a wooded ravine with a small stream audible below. This is a slow-travel destination where guests are encouraged to linger over the scenery rather than rush the bath. Autumn foliage transforms the surrounding maples into the vivid tapestry the name promises.
