It’s not a big place, but it’s really clean and has that artsy, bookish vibe—not one of those footbaths packed with tourists. It’s super quiet while you soak your feet, and it’s comfortable to just zone out or chat. Perfect stop when you’re tired from walking.
The water isn’t so hot it’s uncomfortable, and after a bit your feet actually warm up. Great for fall/winter or in the evening. Overall it’s not some must-see major attraction, but if you happen to pass by, you’ll feel like “nice, that was a win.” Very laid-back and soothing.

There are several trails in the gorge, with observation decks and rest areas along the way. You can get up close to the stunning scenery and capture some amazing shots of the natural landscape.

The walking path along the moat is really popular and offers beautiful views all the way.
-
The cherry blossoms and Shiroishi Castle complement each other beautifully. It's a great spot to enjoy the full bloom of cherry blossoms in spring.
