Tochigi

Sandogoya Onsen

A "hidden hot spring" accessible only by foot deep within the mountains. Staying at a historic inn from the Edo period, bathing by lamp light without electricity, is a rare luxury today. It offers the ultimate retreat to heal hiking fatigue and become one with untouched nature.
