Insider tip — Hito Fudo Yu Onsen taps a sulfurous spring in the Fukushima highlands near Lake Inawashiro, carrying the mineral intensity characteristic of Tohoku volcanic baths. The name Fudo refers to the immovable Buddhist deity, suggesting a spring of powerful, stabilizing energy used by mountain ascetics historically. Sulfurous compounds here are highly concentrated, giving the water a milky white turbidity on some days. Pair the soak with a walk around the lake shore for a complete Aizu highland experience.
