For a day by the water with a difference, plan an excursion to the steaming pools of Kikuchi Onsen. This place is famous for its mineral-rich waters.
This naturally heated water source is on the to-do lists of many travelers to Kikuchi. But Kikuchi Onsen isn't the area's only drawcard. Kikuchi Shrine, Kikuchi Castle, and Kyokushi village Fureai Center are some other interesting attractions nearby.
