Atsugi, Tanzawa

The Atsugi and Tanzawa areas have various natural attractions to enjoy, but the most notable is the crystal-clear stream of the "Yushin Valley." The river's shine changes to emerald green and cobalt blue, creating an unbelievable beauty as if jewels were flowing through it. The area is also known for its numerous hot springs, such as the "Higashi-Tanzawa Nanatsu-sawa Hot Spring Village," famous for its beauty baths, the "Nanasawa Hot Spring," where quiet inns line up, and the "Kohsawa-ji Temple Hot Spring," a one-room inn with a temple-like structure near the Okama Benzaiten. It's perfect for healing the fatigue of everyday life, as well as for travel and mountain climbing. There are many open-air baths where you can relax while gazing at the "Tanzawa Mountains," and it's also a good idea to explore the local seasonal dishes and delicacies, such as the famous "suppon" (soft-shelled turtle) hot pot, wild boar hot pot, and deer sashimi.
