Jigoku-Mushi Kobo Kannawa

4.0

This is a facility where one can try “jigoku mushi (literally, hell steaming),” a traditional cooking method passed down from the Edo era in which foods are steamed to degrees of up to 98°C using the hot steam from the hot spring water, and the rapid process condenses their flavor. Foodstuffs for hell steaming are available on site, or one can bring their own. Inside the facility are also exhibits on the history of Kanawa, hot springs and hell steaming, a drinking area, and free-to-use foot steamer and bath.

Must try Onsen steamed food

This place is popular, we waited an hour though the queue is very well managed. We weren’t so hungry so we shared a vegetable platter and the manjuku buns. Very cool experience to steam the food...
Expensive - 1350 service charge to cook food

After reading various online articles for this place, I thought it was simply ~500 yen for 30 mins steam time and you can bring your own food. But it seems that recently theyve changed the prices...
I liked it despite the wait.
