FREEThe village of Kawayu Onsen lies within Akan-Mashu National Park in eastern Hokkaido, where the active volcano Atosanupuri heats the Io River from below. The river moves through the village as a constantly steaming, acidic stream. Each winter, from late October to late February, workers excavate sections of the riverbed to form the Sennin-buro, a large seasonal open-air communal bath capable of holding dozens of bathers at one time.
