Last update :

Situated at the entrance of Ginzan Onsen, a hot spring town lined with inns built from the Taisho to the early Showa period, is the communal footbath "Warashi-yu Foot Bath". Completed in 2001, this footbath is free of charge. It is located along the Ginzan River that runs through the center of the onsen town and uses the same source water that the Ginzan Onsen inns utilize. With thoughtful details such as the height of the wooden deck benches, visitors can relax and soak their feet in the footbath while enjoying the scenic view of the town.

The footbath is open from early morning until 10:00pm, excluding cleaning hours, making it a perfect resting spot during a stroll around the onsen town. The gas-lit evenings offer a romantic atmosphere and come highly recommended.
