Settsu Gorge Park

Day-trip bathing is enjoyed at the "Settsu Gorge Hananosato Onsen Sansuikan" inn in the upper Settsu Gorge, where the mountains and clear streams are woven. There are two types of large bathhouses that draw two types of home-sourced hot springs: "Oiwami-bath" with natural rock formations as high as 8m, and "Hananoyu" with a jacuzzi. The outdoor baths looking out over the valley are also well received, and it is nice to have a sense of unity with nature. A private bath that can take a private bath and a plan with lunch are also recommended.
