Behind the bathhouse, a small hot spring field adds to its rustic charm, further enhancing the sense of relaxation and connection to nature. Whether you're seeking peace and quiet or an authentic, intimate onsen experience, Kojigoku Onsen is the perfect destination for travelers who wish to connect with Japan’s hot spring culture in a more personal and peaceful setting.
