Forgotten Outdoor Onsen

Deep within Nikko's UNESCO world heritage park lies a forgotten Onsen, a testament to Japan's traditional outdoor hot springs.

A cypress and bamboo quietly compete to reclaim the site once crafted from their ancestors' wood. With roots deep in history, they create a seamless blend of the man-made and the natural.

An adventurous backpacker, drawn by untouched nature, stumbles upon this secluded sanctuary. As she steps into the steaming spring, her gaze is drawn to a distant lake down the mountain – the destined resting place of the waters she's now submerged in. Immersed in the tranquility and Japan's circular spirit, she's reminded of the saying: "Never say kekko (satisfied) until you've seen Nikko."
