NYUTO MOUNTAIN
The Nyuto Mountain area is known for the staggering variety of its hot spring sources and settings.
Onsen come in many different types, depending on the mineral composition of their water(everything from carbonates to sulfur), making for hot springs that vary in color, texture, and even aroma.
These waters are even believed to have medicinal qualities, and while onsens aren’t meant to replace doctor’s orders, there is a long traditional history that describes their power to heal-promoting better sleep, relieving stress, and even curing skin diseases or lowering blood pressure.
The surroundings of each ryokan differ as well, making each onsen a truly unique experience.
