Founded during the Warring States period by warlord Takeda Shingen to heal wounded samurai, Ikaho Town has long been celebrated for its rejuvenating thermal waters. The town's vibrant heart centers around an atmospheric 365-step stone staircase lined with traditional ryokan, retro shooting galleries, and local souvenir shops. Visitors can soak in the mineral-rich, iron-tinted 'golden water' baths while savoring freshly steamed onsen manju sweet buns. It is a quintessential hot spring getaway that seamlessly blends deep feudal history with nostalgic hot spring charm.
