Ashizuri Onsen: the most epic hot spring town

Ashizuri Onsen is said to be founded by a Buddhist monk Kukai 1200 years ago, and has been healing a lot of people since then. The radon-rich water from the spring is said to ease the soreness of muscles and nerves. There are five hotels and foot baths where you can enjoy the Ashizuri hot spring! At Ashizuri Manjiro Footbath, you can soak your feet while gazing at the grand view of the Hakusan Natural Arch

This onsen town is just a 7-minute walk away from Cape Muroto - the southernmost point of Shikoku. When you walk there, you can see dynamic waves crashing on giant boulders. In addition to that, 60,000 bright red camellias bloom all over Cape Ashizuri in February

Let’s go on a dramatic winter trip to Ashizuri Onsen
