Hotarugai Onsen, Yamanashi — Hidden Mountain Hot Spring

English

Found this gem tucked away in Yamanashi during a summer mountain escape — Hotarugai Onsen, a quiet little hot spring that feels worlds away from the city bustle. The sign alone had me smiling; there's something about stumbling onto these tucked-away places that makes the whole trip. Midday heat just melts away when you're soaking in natural hot water surrounded by mountain air!
