Gozu Onsen Village（Gozu Onsengou）

In the embrace of Mount Gozu, a sacred mountain with five distinctive peaks, awaits Gozu Onsen Village—a serene hot spring retreat in Niigata's Agano City encompassing three historic onsen towns: Deyu, Imaita, and Murasugi.

Remarkably, all three hot springs within the village are radium onsens—a classification so rare it's considered one of Japan's best-kept secrets. This gentle, natural radiation is believed to stimulate cellular metabolism, boost immune function, and enhance circulation.

This sublime journey—from the restorative waters to the refined, seasonal cuisine at a traditional ryokan—is an experience that transcends mere relaxation. It’s an immersion in Niigata’s profound natural beauty, a revival of the spirit, and an intimate encounter with a unique cultural heritage.
