Ureshino Onsen

Ureshino Onsen is one of Japan's three great beauty hot springs, prized for its sodium bicarbonate waters that leave skin remarkably smooth and silky. The hot spring town has a history spanning over 1,300 years and offers a charming townscape along the Ureshino River with numerous ryokan, public baths, and free foot baths. The town is also famous for Ureshino tea, one of Japan's finest green teas, and visitors can enjoy tea-infused cuisine and sweets. The unique Ureshino-style yudofu features silky tofu simmered in the mineral-rich hot spring water. A stroll through the compact town center reveals a mix of traditional inns and modern cafes, making it an ideal base for exploring the Saga countryside.
