Zaō Onsen in Yamagata has been in use for centuries and is known for water so acidic it was traditionally credited with healing wounds. The Dai-rotenburo is a series of wooden-edged pools set directly in a wooded ravine, open from roughly late spring to late autumn.

Perché visitarlo

Bathing in a forest gorge with the stream running beneath the decking is the appeal; in winter the same mountain becomes famous for its snow-covered "ice monster" trees.
