The Former Hijiori Onsen Post Office, built in 1937, is a charming landmark in the heart of Hijiori Onsen. This well-preserved, Western-style building with subtle Japanese influences features a retro red postbox that's still in use. While the interior is not always open for tours, the exterior provides a delightful glimpse into the area's past. Located conveniently in the center of the hot spring town, it's easily accessible while exploring the area's traditional streets. A quick stop here offers a unique photo opportunity and a touch of nostalgia.
