Stay at Kahonoyu Onsenkan to participate in daily guided tours led by descendants of former miners, sharing stories of the region’s mining heritage and geothermal ecosystem. Afterward, visit the hotel’s traditional wood-fired steam room for a centuries-old sauna experience. Monthly events like the Moonlight Onsen Gathering transform the onsen into a serene space illuminated only by candlelight, accompanied by live shamisen performances. These immersive experiences are included in your stay.
