Insider tip — Kodama (木霊 — spirit of the trees/forest echo) Onsen is in eastern Nagoya near the Higashiyama Forest and Zoo — one of Japan's oldest urban nature preserves, home to a beloved koala colony. The name 'kodama' evokes the ancient animistic belief that old trees contain spirits (the forest spirits in Miyazaki's 'Princess Mononoke' are called kodama); a fitting name for a neighborhood sento in one of Nagoya's greener residential wards.
