Nature trails in the middle of town

Sun is setting in Kawayu-Onsen

Sika Deer have detected my presence

Shrine in the forest

Alpine flowers bloom as the weather warms up

Staring contest......you and me......now!

Yunokawa River foot spa

The birds and the bees the flowers and the trees

Lunch at San San Go Go

The sulphur heats the water

Warm inviting water after a nature walk

Spa in the center of town

The Sumo Museum of Kawayu-Onsen

Halt! Before you head out of Kawayu-Onsen to Akan National Park you should stop for a moment and take a look at your surroundings. The small town has a sumo museum, tiny shops with local wood carvings, nature trails and a natural hot springs foot spa. Even by walking in and around the town you can experience natural beauty and at the end of your sojourn you can dip your toes in the warm, local waters.
