Nestled at the base of the wonderful hike to the peak of Ontake San, and overlooking dense mountain forest, Nigorigo is simple and delightful. All amenities in this onsen are rustic in their appeal, from the open air showers under the trees, to the simple shack like changing room.
The onsen takes its name from the Japanese word "Nigori" which means "Cloudy water", stemming from the fact that the onsen water contains millions of tiny volcanic particles ranging in colour from green to gray and yellow.
The water is quite hot at the entry point and cools towards the mountain side of the onsen, which allows you to find your perfect temperature.
This onsen would be perfect for viewing the autumn colours but even without such splendour it is a very welcoming and relaxing onsen.
