Yoshino Mountain, Yoshino Town, Nara Prefecture

Yoshino Onsen Motoyu

A good choice on a Yoshino hiking day if you book ahead and want to try the historic inn's own spring. Day bathing is limited to a short afternoon window, and the inn does not accept day visitors during the April–May Golden Week period.
