Ogoto Onsen Hexagonal Footbath
A one-minute walk from JR Ogotoonsen Station. This footbath is just outside the east exit of the station and was built in 2008 by the Ogoto Onsens Tourist Association to commemorate the renaming of the station. The footbath is open each day from 10 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and is free to use. The waters of the footbath's alkaline simple spring are said to beautify the skin and are also recommended for those with delicate skin and pregnant women. Everyone is welcome to experience the waters of a historic hot spring said to have been developed by the great monk Saicho, founder of Japanese Tendai Buddhism.
