At the onsen facilities lining the valleys, you can experience baths with six different types of spring quality, each offering various bathing styles such as foot baths and finger baths. Throughout the town, indulge in the local specialty, 'toteyaki,' available with a wide array of unique toppings ranging from sweet to savory. Tailor your culinary experience to your mood with enjoyable food exploration on the go. For nature enthusiasts, refresh yourself with mountain and river activities. With each season bringing its own unique charm, you can expect new discoveries at least four times a year. Unlike nearby tourist spots, the tranquil atmosphere here allows for genuine relaxation. I might be biased, but I believe there's no other hot spring village where you can enjoy such a leisurely pace.
To be honest, Shiobara is not as widely recognized as the colossal tourist destinations like Nikko or Nasu. This site aims to gather advice from experts in hot springs, nature, and local cuisine to ensure that those who visit Shiobara Onsen can fully enjoy its charm and unique offerings. In Shiobara, there are plenty of "choose-your-own" attractions. I would be delighted if you could discover a journey packed with your own personal favorites in this hidden gem.
