    Famous as the inspiration for the bathhouse in Studio Ghibli's films! There's a white heron statue on the roof, and legend has it that the hot spring was discovered by a heron.

    I just took some photos in front of the main building and didn't go in for a bath. The area around the onsen is lively with shopping streets, making it a really popular spot.
