Ryujin Hot spring village

A quiet hot spring district sprawling amidst mountains along the Hidaka River. Together with Kawanaka Onsen in Gunma Prefecture and Yunokawa Onsen in Shimane Prefecture, this district is considered one of Japan's three great skin beautifying hot spring villages. Discovered by the great monk Kobo Daishi, founder of Shingon Buddhism, this ancient and history-leaden hot spring destination was used by the lords of the Kii Province Tokugawa clan in the Edo period. The area's hydrogen carbonate springs (alkaline springs) are characterized by their soft, velvety feel and are renowned for giving bathers smooth, moisturized skin. These waters are also said to have powerful warmth retaining qualities and aid in recovery from fatigue, help alleviate sensitivity to cold and stiff shoulders, and prevent post-bath chills.
