[Oita] Soda Onsen, Japan's No. 1 Carbonated Bath

Shichirida Onsen in Taketa City, Oita Prefecture The neighboring Nagayu Onsen is well-known, but in fact, Shichirida Onsen has a secret hot spring that only hot spring enthusiasts know about. That is Shimonyu at Shichirida Onsen. It's about a minute's walk away, but there's one bath big enough for maybe four adults to fit in. When you get in, bubbles instantly cover your body. It was the first time in my life that I'd ever had so much bubbles on my skin. It felt like a carbonated drink!! #HotSpring #CarbonatedSpring
