Tamagawa Onsen

This was my first time visiting an Onsen that truly felt like a traditional therapeutic hot-spring retreat.\nThe bath area had a pleasant atmosphere with so much steam that visibility was limited, and I saw many guests who seemed to be there to recover their health.\nThe water was so acidic it stung if it got in your eyes, so I think you can expect real benefits.\nAt nearby Yakeyama, there were many people enjoying stone sauna bathing, and the sulfur scent and steam made it a great place to soak up the atmosphere.\nOne disappointment was that Wi‑Fi didn’t work in the Room, and the TV only showed NHK terrestrial channels.\nOf course, if you’re here for therapeutic bathing, that’s not really an issue... (wry smile)\nAlso, Akio Lake and the submerged forest along the way were amazing!

This is our second stay at the accommodation following last month, as part of my mother's therapeutic visit. Everything is absolutely perfect. The staff, the people we pass by in the facility, and even other guests staying for similar purposes all exude kindness and warmth. The bath, in particular, has a unique and charming atmosphere. Unfortunately, due to work commitments this year, it will be difficult to visit before it closes for the season. However, once it reopens next year, I am determined to bring my mother back here again.
