Nozawaonsen, Traditional hot spring village in Shimotakai district, Japan.
Nozawa Onsen sits at the base of Mount Kenashi-yama, featuring narrow cobblestone streets lined with traditional inns, restaurants, and thirteen public bathhouses.
The mineral springs of Nozawa Onsen have provided healing waters since the 8th century, becoming a recognized destination during the Edo period.
The Dosojin Fire Festival, established in 1863, brings the community together every January 15th for a night of ceremonial torch lighting.
The village contains thirty different mineral springs feeding the public bathhouses, which visitors can access through a donation-based system.
The Ogama spring reaches 90 degrees Celsius and serves as a communal cooking source where locals prepare eggs and vegetables.
