Unazuki Onsen, nestled in the stunning valley of Kurobe Gorge, Toyama Prefecture, is a hidden gem of Japan’s hot spring resorts. The area is known for its yukemuri (hot spring steam) that dances in the crisp mountain air, creating a mystical atmosphere. Unazuki Onsen’s spring water, blessed with abundant minerals, is said to have healing properties that soothe the body and the soul due to its alkaline properties.
The charm of Unazuki Onsen extends beyond its therapeutic waters. The resort town is also the gateway to the Kurobe Gorge Railway, a scenic train ride that offers breathtaking views of lush greenery, rocky cliffs, and azure waterways. Visitors can wander around the peaceful town, enjoy local delicacies, or take a leisurely boat ride on the Kurobe River, immersing themselves in the serenity and natural beauty of the area.
