**【A hidden paradise! A secret place to enjoy autumn leaves at Dorogawa Onsen in Osaka and Nara】**

Located at the junction of Osaka and Nara, Dorogawa Onsen is one of the few mountain hot springs in Kansai that retains its rustic style. There are no noisy tourists here, only gurgling streams and century-old hot spring houses, which make people instantly away from the hustle and bustle. The hot spring water is weakly alkaline, and the skin will be smooth after soaking, especially after autumn, when the maple leaves dye the mountains red. When you look up while bathing, you will see red leaves all over the sky, just like being in an oil painting. Locals most recommend "Dorigawa Onsen Green Hot Spring", a wooden hot spring house with an open-air bath. Look up at the starry sky at night, and the mist in the morning adds a sense of mystery. It takes about 1.5 hours by train from Osaka, suitable for a day of relaxation or a half-day leisurely bath. If time permits, you may wish to visit Nara Park and experience the dual healing of the ancient capital and natural hot springs!
