Kaminoyu (onsen of the Gods) is situated in a peaceful forest in the mountains that surround Shimosuwa. It was built in 1934 and renovated in 1993.
The two separate baths (male/female) have bright orange water (that is rich in iron) and floor to ceiling windows on two sides that can be opened up for full enjoyment of the surrounding forest.

There are 10 traditional Japanese rooms, 3 of which have been recently renovated, and the passageways to the rooms have traditional Japanese antiques and artifacts tastefully laid out.
There is a really cozy lounge area with comfortable western sofas, which still manages to retain its Japanese atmosphere.
