【Local guides take you through the historical hot-spring culture of the area.】

The town of Kannawa Onsen takes its name from its famous onsen (hot springs). This spa resort town has long flourished as a therapeutic hot-spring destination, and guests can use a 'jigoku kettle' to steam food with onsen water and cook their own meals.

The unique dish of Kannawa Onsen is jigoku-mushi, in which fresh vegetables, meat and fish are steamed in a jigoku kettle (called a “hell”) with 100 °C hot spring water. This guided tour is a great way to further enjoy the cultural cuisine of the region.
