Okutsu Onsen, located in a beautiful landscape surrounded by mountains and rivers, was highly valued by feudal lords during the Edo period and is known as a scenic "beauty hot spring." Okutsu Onsen is home to attractions such as the "foot-stomping laundry" custom, which has become a local specialty, and scenic spots created by the abundant nature.
