Sanogawa Onsen, Sulfur hot spring in Minamikoma district, Japan.

The natural spring waters of Sanogawa Onsen contain high concentrations of sulfur minerals, flowing from deep underground sources in the Yamanashi mountains.

The thermal waters of Sanogawa Onsen have served local communities since ancient times, providing relief through traditional Japanese bathing practices.

Visitors remove shoes before entering the bathing areas and thoroughly wash their bodies prior to immersing themselves in the communal mineral waters.

The onsen offers separate indoor and outdoor bathing facilities for men and women, with rental towels and basic amenities available at the front desk.

The mineral composition of Sanogawa's waters creates a distinctive white residue on the surrounding rocks, marking the spring's geological characteristics.
