Nara Onsen offers a serene and culturally rich experience, situated in the ancient city of Nara, renowned for its historical significance as Japan’s first permanent capital. The onsen here tap into natural hot spring waters that are believed to have healing properties, making them a sought-after retreat for both mind and body rejuvenation.
The open-air baths, or rotenburo, are particularly appealing because they allow bathers to connect with nature while relaxing in the warm, mineral-rich waters. These outdoor baths often provide views of the surrounding landscapes, including lush gardens, wooded areas, or in some cases, city views which look especially beautiful at sunset.
