Overview

A July 26 travel piece highlighted two distant onsen destinations: Meda Onsen Hotel in Hokkaido’s Nukanan River valley, noted for its natural sulfur spring and seasonal wildlife views, and several cliff‑side hot‑spring lodgings in Tokushima’s Iya Valley, each emphasizing scenic baths and regional cuisine.

A follow‑up on July 30 broadened the coverage to additional regions, featuring six recommended inns in Fukui Prefecture—including traditional ryokan 灰屋, lakeside resort on Suigetsu Lake, and a dual‑spring facility in Sabae—as well as a historic hotel in Nagano’s Suwa area with private spring baths and Alpine beef dishes. Together, the reports show an expanding effort to promote Japan’s diverse onsen experiences, linking natural hot springs with local food and scenery across the country.
