Shin'onsen
7.5
Lower score (below 6)
Shin'onsen Town on the San'in coast in far northern Hyogo is named for its hot springs, and the onsen have been drawing visitors since the early 20th century. The coastal scenery where the mountains drop into the Sea of Japan is dramatic. But getting here from Osaka takes over three hours by surface transport, the population is under 9,000 and falling every year, and the social environment is a shrinking rural fishing community where the onsen ryokan provide hospitality but nothing resembling an ongoing social scene.
