Tenninkyo Hot Spring

A Hidden Hot Spring Retreat in the Heart of Daisetsuzan

Tenninkyo Hot Spring is a quiet retreat where visitors can enjoy dramatic gorge scenery and pure, free-flowing hot spring waters.


Nestled deep within the Daisetsuzan mountain range, this historic hot spring has welcomed travelers since 1897. A single inn stands within the steep gorge, offering refined bathing facilities made of marble and hinoki cypress. Guests can soak in mineral-rich water drawn directly from the source.


From the stone open-air bath, towering cliffs shaped into striking columnar formations rise before your eyes. As a cool breeze passes through the gorge, the raw beauty of nature gently relaxes both body and mind.


Surrounded by untouched wilderness, the only sound you hear is the river flowing below. Lush greenery fills the gorge in summer, while autumn brings vibrant colors to the cliffs. After exploring the area, a stop at the free foot bath Tennyo-no-Yu is a pleasant way to ease travel fatigue. Surrender yourself to the rugged landscape and timeless hot spring waters, and experience the quiet charm of this remote mountain retreat.
