The surrounding area boasts stunning sights, including the majestic Mount Azuma, the Jodo-gatake plateau with its seasonal wildflowers, and Azuma Ko-Fuji, a volcano formed by volcanic activity.
The onsen town is dotted with day-trip onsen facilities and traditional Ryokans (Japanese inns), where you can fully immerse yourself in the pleasure of natural hot springs fed directly from the source.
