Geto Onsen is a traditional ryokan offering the chance to anyone visiting to enjoy a natural open-air hot spring bath in the earth of the Yakeishi mountains in Kurikoma Quasi-National Park.
Founded in 1134 near by a crystal clear river, the five open air baths of Geto Onsen used to be very popular in the past. But because of its really remote location, an aging population and totally inaccessibility without a car, it gets ignored by foreign tourists. Geto Onsen is slowly dying. Many ryokans around the area now closed and the only ones still open offer only the bare minimum.
It is really sad to see this amazing natural onsen fade away little by little. Despite the spartan accommodations available in the area, I would encourage anyone visiting Iwate to give Geto Onsen a chance.

Geton Onsen est un Ryokan traditionnel qui offre la chance à ses visiteurs de profiter de baignades en sources d’eau thermal en plein air et en plein coeur des montagnes de Yakeishi dans le parc national de Kurikoma Quasi.
Fondés en 1134 tout proche d’une rivière pure, les 5 bains extérieurs de Geto Onsen étaient très populaires autrefois. Mais à cause de sa position reculée, de sa population vieillissante, et ignorée des touristes car difficile d’accès sans voiture, Geto Onsen meurt à petit feu. Beaucoup de Ryokans voisins ont fermé, et les quelques uns qui persistent n’offrent désormais que le stricte minimum.
C’est très triste de voir ce magnifique onsen naturel sombrer petit à petit malgré la beauté des éléments environnant. Je souhaiterais encourager les visiteurs d’Iwate de donner sa chance à Geto Onsen en raison de son atmosphère unique.

There is a melancholic beauty to abandoned places. I get the same feeling from this video that I get from driving out to western Kansas, and seeing towns that once had populations of several hundred reduced to a couple of dozen.

Beautiful :))
That water color…. omg.
Every place you shoot is beautiful! Great job ..
That water tho'
C'est la température de l'eau qui lui donne cette couleur ?
Magnifique !
C'est toujours dommage que les coins reculés soient de plus en plus oubliés… mais d'un autre côté, on est content de tomber dessus plutôt que les lieux débordants de touristes.
more city vellage video！
I do not think this Onsen is ignored by foreign tourists.
I live in Brazil. When we went to Japan I noticed difficulty in accessing these places. The Japanese do not understand English and the population is not very receptive, friendly and hospitable, so it is difficult to pick up transports like ships, buses to distant, isolated and hard to reach places. In big cities it is easier to pick up trains and taxis.
When we were in Takamatsu (Tokushima ken), we wanted to go to some islands of Seto Naikai (Shodoshima, Teshima, Nodoshima), but it was difficult because the employees of the ferry company were not very solicitous and we ended up not going to these islands.
We are very keen to know deep Japan and unknown Japan, but Japan is not very hospitable to tourists and so we lost and ended up not wanting to visit and we ended up not going to these wonderful places.
The tourists end up losing and the merchants of these places also end up losing resources () provided by the tourism.
really beautiful work! may i ask what camera and lens you used in this video? i saw the gear list but there are tons of various things listed lol
(*^_^*)
