The river looks so clean and natural. Can you swim in the river after or before bathing?
ReplyDeleteThe river water is amazingly clean and inviting, but the current could be dangerous depending on the season. If you try to swim there, be sure you have friends nearby to help you if you have trouble. Be careful and aware of the risks and enjoy yourself.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. What is it like in winter?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, you cannot reach this superb location in winter. The city closes the hikers' hut and removes some of the small bridges on the path to the hot spring. However, Japan gifts winter lovers with gorgeous snow-surrounded hot springs in many areas of the country. Please enter "winter" into the search function of hotspringaddict.blogspot.com to learn about many.
