Reviewing Shibu Onsen's 9 Healing Bath Houses | Journey to Japan

#japantravel #onsen #nagano
In this video, we review the 9 Healing Bath Houses of Shibu Onsen in Nagano Prefecture. The local myth is that bathing in all 9 onsen will cure you of all diseases and ensure that you live a long, healthy life. Unlike many more modern towns, Shibu has a very rustic vibe to it and feels largely unnoticed by western tourists. We spent a beautiful few days here (as documented in our other vlogs) where we literally immersed ourselves in Japanese bath culture.

Glad you went. So few YouTubers film this unique and gorgeous place. My wife and I were there last April (it snowed) and did all 9 baths.
