Give each valley its own day and avoid turning an onsen trip into constant transfers.
Turn the clip into a workable plan
Best for
Onsen travellers who prefer slow mornings and one main area per day.
A sensible route
- Choose Minakami or a nearby nature stop for the first full day.
- Transfer to Shima Onsen with the current bus schedule in hand.
- Use the final morning for the onsen town rather than adding another prefecture.
