Hot Springs, Spa Resorts or Onsens can be found all over Japan. Some have their source of water so far underground that Inns owners pay a small fortune to drill into the earth to tap into it. In other places, like the one in this video, the boiling hot water and steam are simply bursting out from cracks in the rocky cliff face in spectacular style. Destination Management - Toursgallery had taken a trip here in autumn, just as the first snow was falling, so the cool air enhanced the clouds of steam.
All along the gorge boiling hot waterfalls tumble down the cliff and end up flowing into the clear cold mountain stream. A steep flight of steps through the forest of autumn foliage takes visitors to a boardwalk, which enables visitors to walk through the valley and get within finger poking distance of the super heated steam that is hissing out of the rock.
The owner of the local Inn tells us that she is always treating guests for burnt fingers.
The volcanic hot spring water is too hot to bathe in and the very inviting looking clear mountain stream is just above freezing point. So, the best option is to go back to the Inn where the hot spring bath is just the right temperature.
We do include this spectacular and very picturesque walk in some of our Toursgallery Nature Tours. In fact we have quite a number of 'off the beaten track ' places like this where we take our tour guests to get close to nature.
This is not such a bad place for photography and bird watching either.
