Furuyu & Kumanokawa Onsen. Famous for its lukewarm waters. That’s why the true way to enjoy it is to soak long and slow.

Furuyu Onsen and Kumanokawa Onsen—famous for their lukewarm waters—are affectionately known together as “Furukuma.”

Soaking slowly in the soft, body-temperature baths, you begin to feel as if you’ve melted into the hot spring itself, wrapped in a deep, gentle comfort.

In fact, many locals skip their bath at home altogether and come to the onsen every day.
