It has been selected as one of Japan's Top 100 Tourist Destinations, and is a hot spring resort with a long history, with Mori Tadamasa, the lord of the Tsuyama domain, setting up his own spa during the Edo period.

Okutsu Gorge is a 3km long valley where you can enjoy a beautiful and varied valley. It is known as a famous spot for autumn leaves in Okayama Prefecture, and many tourists from outside the prefecture visit during the season. The ``Autumn Leaves Walk'' with a local guide is also popular at this time of year, and it is said that if you take a walk along the mountain stream while enjoying nature and history, you will be energized by the negative ions. We recommend walking while enjoying the kobushi and rhododendrons in the spring, and the cool fresh greenery in the summer. There is a promenade along the river where you can enjoy the rare group of potholes.
