We stayed two nights in this quaint, totally unique village. Besides the stream that runs through it with crossing bridges, the central pedestrian area is designed for casual strolling and checking in on the seven public hot water baths that are available to the passersby. I didn't go in since our ryokan had better, private ones already, but I was curious as what it would be like to go in. This is an ideal photo op locale, especially with the yutaka-wearing pedestrians.

Beautiful little town with amazing hot springs. Be warned though that if your accommodation does not offer dinner you might have some trouble finding somewhere to eat. The streets and shops were deserted from about 6 pm onwards. After trying all of the 7 public onsen’ s in town, We found the one closest to the train station to be the best. It has indoor and out door pools as well as various saunas. There is also a free foot hot spring outside the front of the building, open even when the onsen is closed (on Monday)

Amazing, cute, fun town. There are 7 public bath houses. Our ryokan included a pass to all 7. I believe that’s pretty common here. Everyone walked around the town in yukatas wearing these absurd clickity clackity shoes that can be heard all over. The public baths were so fun. Highly recommend. すごくて可愛くて楽しい町です。温泉が7つあります。旅館の予約があったから、温泉のチッケトをもらいました。よくだと思います。温泉はとても楽しかったです。めっちゃおすすめです。
