Doroyu Onsen, a secluded hot spring nestled in the foothills of Mt. Takamatsu, boasts a history dating back approximately 1200 years. Once known as "Anrakusen" during the Edo period, its distinctive cloudy waters led to its current name, "Mud Bath." The area features two lodging facilities, each drawing from unique hot spring sources, including mountain, river, and waterfall springs. Visitors can enjoy the rustic charm of this hidden gem, surrounded by a landscape of whitish-gray rocks emitting sulfurous gases. Be mindful of posted warnings regarding potentially hazardous gas levels in certain areas. The best time to visit is during the autumn foliage season for stunning views.
