✨ High-rise bath with a Japanese soul

An ancient Japanese legend tells of the gods Izanagi and Izanami, after creating the islands of the world, descended to earth and found warm springs emerging from the rocks. It is said that these places, beyond soothing the body, also healed the soul. Thus were born the onsen: sacred thermal baths where the water connects with the invisible.

Centuries later, on top of a hill at an altitude of 700 meters, the Hottarakashi Onsen It preserves that essence. Surrounded by nature, it offers an unparalleled view of Mount Fuji and a space of profound silence. The outdoor pools are filled with mineral waters at temperatures between 40 and 42°C, ideal for relaxing muscles and calming the mind.

🌡️ Water temperature: between 40 and 42 °C

At night, the sky is covered with stars and the steam envelops the body like a warm whisper. There are no sounds other than the quiet breathing and the distant murmur of the mountains. It's a moment to stop, let go of the weight of the day, and simply be.

At dawn, the experience continues. A path runs through a forest of ancient cedars and leads to a different form of wellness: shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing.

The scent of damp earth, moss, birdsong. Each step invites us to return to the present, to observe attentively, to breathe calmly. There's no need to do anything. Simply allow nature to welcome us.

🌿 Sometimes transformation begins when the world quiets down.
