Insider tip — 'Fukami Rojin Ikoi no Ie' (深見老人憩いの家 — Fukami Elderly Rest Home) at Fukami Onsen in Usa city, Oita. The 'ikoi no ie' (resting house) for the elderly is a distinctly Japanese institution — a combination of senior day-care centre and communal hot spring, where retired residents gather for bathing, social interaction, and the maintenance of independence. Near the great Usa Shrine (one of Japan's most important Hachiman shrines), these thermal waters serve Usa's aging agricultural communities in the shadow of 1,300 years of sacred tradition.
