Dorogawa Onsen has flourished since ancient times as the birthplace of Shugendo and the trailhead for Mount Omine. The hot spring district, where over 20 inns and guesthouses and souvenir shops scatters, exudes a Showa-era atmosphere. At night, lantern lights illuminate the area, creating a fantastical scene.

The hot spring water is mildly alkaline, which is good for healing neuralgia, muscle pain, joint pain, chronic digestive disorders, and sensitivity to cold. At “Dorogawa Onsen Visitor Center”, you can go for a daytrip onsen experience.
