Yakuno Kogen Onsen 'Hokkorikan' is located in Fukuchiyama, Kyoto prefecture. Its thermal water reaches 40°C with a pH of 7.3, and the small mountain facility offers an indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo and a sauna.
Insider tip — Hokkorikan, which means to feel comfortably warm inside, stands on the Yakuno plateau above Fukuchiyama in the mountain heart of northern Kyoto Prefecture. The highland air is noticeably cooler than the city, making the geothermal bath all the more appreciated after hiking the surrounding cedar forests.
