Kawarage Oyutaki (Hot Water Waterfall)

Amazing place. Highly recommended for nature lovers and hot spring lowers. The entrance is on the right side of the bathrooms at the parking lot. It is about 500 m. and takes around 15 min descending to get the waterfalls. The origin of the water is near to the parking lot. There is no path to get there. You go through trees and relaxing path. There are spots you can sit to take break of you want. Once you reach the waterfall you feel that you are in the haven and forget everything. There are changing place for males and females. There is a nice spot under the waterfall where you can enjoy the hot spring. Make sure you have suitable outfit. It is forbidden to enter naked. The water temperature is about 40 degrees Celsius here. It gets hotter if you go towards the origin. Have a towel. If you have time go to the opposite side from the parking area to explore the bleached rocks on the top of the mountain. It is open from July to the end of September.

This place is really nice and interesting but in 2020 season, you need to walk more than 30 min to get there (i.e. the round trip takes more than 60 min) from the only parking, because the nearest parking is not available due to the maintenance of the road to reach there. It’s quite tough because you go down first and you need to climb the way for return. If you think you are fit, give it a try.

Really nice place. A waterfall onsen. It is only open a few months in the year so you need to time your visit. It is about a 15 minute walk from the closest car park. There is a small changing room available just pass the waterfall. The water is very acidic so not recommended for people with very sensitive skin. Definitely worth a visit!

Having tattoos it's hard to enjoy outdoor onsens so this is perfect for people with tattoos and without. It's quiet and being able to relax in hot water is perfect. The road getting to it is hard but worth it.

A beautiful hike with a stunning visual. It was cool in the hills & the hot spring was a great experience.
