| Area : | |
| The Okukinu Onsen area is called the home of secret spas. Haccho No Yu, Teshirosawa, Kaniyu and Nikkozawa are some of the hot springs located within this wild area, which is partly accessible only by foot. Should you have time, and provided that you spend one night in one of those ryokan, you can walk from Okukinu Onsen to Oze marshland, an incredible marsh located at an altitude of about 2000 meters. The whole area is designated as a National Treasure; indeed, the marshland and can be extremely crowded from June to September, and is better visited later in the year.

| I unfortunately noticed the small bath with a ship's shape too late to really enjoy it, as we had to leave the onsen at that time... But with such a large number of baths, it is really impossible to soak in all of them! Now, I am just waiting for some family to visit me from Europe and organize an onsen trip over there.
