Natural hot springs in Zao Onsen are said to have opened in 110 A.D. The strong acidic sulfur spring is known as the “Springs of Beauty” for its effects of sterilizing and strengthening the skin. Zao Onsen boasts an abundance of hot water with 8,700 tons per day from 47 sources, and there are three public bathhouses, four footbaths, and five day-spa facilities scattered in the hot spring town.
Zao Onsen Large Open-air bath, where the hot spring water flows directly from the source, is one of the most popular spots.
