Myojin no yu Onsen

INTRO

The Myojin No Yu Onsen is one of the largest hot springs in Tokyo and a very special one, due to its wooden bath and outdoor area with a lot of stones, wooden single bath tubs, and lot of greenery. While laying in the hot Hiba bath, you can smell the scent of a tree. The outdoor area is the real treat, with a small garden of bathtubs of different depth and temperatures. Especially during the colder days in the year, spring, autumn and winter, you can easily pass an hour and get lost in your thoughts, meditating while gazing up at the sky or trees.
