This place is gorgeous! It smells like sulfur but you get used to it. The mountains are amazing and the water is crystal clear. It's so peaceful and quiet. Definitely recommend.
Hands down one of the most beautiful places I've been to in Japan. You can lodge here and enjoy the peacefulness and gorgeous scenery. It only takes an hour or so to see everything here so it's not exactly an all day thing but the drive here was scenic and Getting here was worth it!
