The Secrets of Onsen

Visiting the Chichibu Pilgrimage Sites in the ONSEN CHICHIBU, Vol.5

【A secluded hot spring with emerald-green waters. Nestled in a tranquil forest, enjoy a moment that soothes the soul.】

It is located quite close to Houn-ji Temple (Chichibu Pilgrimage Site No. 30).
Nestled alongside the headwaters of the Arakawa River, “Yatsugawakan” is truly worthy of being called a “hidden retreat in Okuchichibu.”

━━━ ♨️ Our Commitment to Onsen ━━━
Our pride and joy is, without a doubt, the “Dairyuji Spring,” which radiates a mystical hue.
The indoor bath, paved with natural Towada stone, makes the water shimmer with a crystal-clear emerald green glow, offering deep visual relaxation.

• Indoor Bath: The Dairyuji Spring gently warms you to your very core, melting away the fatigue of daily life.
• Open-Air Bath: An overwhelming sense of openness, surrounded by the lush nature of Okuchichibu.
• A Moment of Bliss: Relax both body and mind while listening to the murmur of the river and the songs of birds.

Please enjoy a luxurious bathing experience woven from the hues of Towada stone and the warmth of the spring water.

━ 🌿 A soothing space enveloped in silence ━
In this place, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city, the best thing to do is simply enjoy the quiet passage of time.
Take a deep breath in the open-air bath nestled in the embrace of nature, and you’ll feel as though your very soul is being cleansed.
Switch off from your daily routine and experience the four seasons of Chichibu with all five senses.

━━ 🥾 Refresh Yourself Between Visits to the Chichibu Fudasho Pilgrimage ━━
