Fujioka Onsen—Wisteria Hill Spring—takes its name from the wisteria (fuji) whose cascading purple blossoms have made it one of Japan's most celebrated flowering plants, associated with aristocratic refinement, the eponymous Fujiwara clan, and the transient beauty that is central to the Japanese aesthetic consciousness. The bicarbonate and carbonated waters deliver an effervescent, skin-stimulating mineral soak in which natural CO2 adds lively tactile sensation to the gentle alkaline warmth—a spring as refreshing and seasonally vivid as the wisteria blossoms that give its setting name. Rising in Gunma Prefecture, Fujioka Onsen connects the flowering beauty of the wisteria hill's spring season to the restorative mineral waters that emerge from the volcanic geology of Japan's most thermally prolific inland prefecture.
