“Hot Spring Map” is a hot spring app that lets you discover hidden gems and famous hot springs across Japan using maps and photos.
From secluded inns nestled in the mountains to open-air baths where you can enjoy snowy views, you’ll discover wonderful hot springs you’ve never experienced before.

Hot springs are marked with photo pins on a map of Japan. Tap a location that catches your eye to view details about that hot spring. The app also provides directions from your current location.

■ Browse, Search, and Filter

■ Learn About Water Types
We provide easy-to-understand explanations of each hot spring’s water characteristics, such as “sulfur springs” and “chloride springs.” This information helps you choose the right hot spring.
