Oyunuma River Natural Foot bath

Entrance to the Oyunuma River Natural Foot bath

 

 

One way to cap off a long day of touring is to soak your feet in a natural hot spring. This free foot bath is about 20 minutes away from the Jigokudani viewing point on foot

 

 

The hot spring river flows from Lake Oyunuma, where the high-temperature onsen wells up. What gives the water the right temperature is the combination of natural river water and spring water.

 

 

Tip: Bring a towel to dry your feet if you’re wearing closed shoes
