Immerse Yourself in Nature’s Luxury
The star attraction is the open-air sodium chloride
spring bath, often referred to as "beautiful skin water."
Renowned for its skin-nourishing properties, the brown-hued moor hot spring is
rich in organic matter, making it gentle, moisturizing, and perfect for
relaxation. As you soak in the therapeutic waters, you'll be treated to
stunning views of the night sky, where stars shimmer so brightly it feels like
rain could fall at any moment.
For daytime visitors, the view is equally enchanting, with
the refreshing blue sky and surrounding greenery creating a serene backdrop.

Team Nicerio visits Eniwa Onsen La Foret
On July 22, 2023, my siblings and I made a memorable stop at
Eniwa Onsen La Foret during our Siblings Road Trip #1. This visit
coincided with my 628th day in Japan as an ALT under the JET Programme.
After an invigorating hike up Mt. Tarumae, we headed to the onsen to unwind and
rejuvenate. What made this experience truly special was that it was my brother
and sister’s first time trying a Japanese onsen. I’m grateful they embraced the
idea, especially since communal bathing is not a common practice in our
culture.
