Hōshi Onsen Chōjūkan stands alone in a forested valley in Minakami, Gunma. Its Hōshi no Yu bathhouse, built in 1895, is a wooden hall of arched beams where bathers sit on pebble-floored basins directly above the calcium-sodium sulphate spring.
Le regard Balnevia
Pourquoi y aller
It is one of the best-preserved mixed-bathing wooden bathhouses in Japan: no filtration, no additives, water entering the tubs at source temperature under lamplight.
