Japan is a country of hot springs, having about 3,000 hot spring resorts. Among them, the Nikko area has been one of the most loved and popular hot spring resort and summer retreat, because of its cool climate in summer and its geographical scale with ups and downs extending from the downtown area at about 200 meter elevation to the mountain range at about 2,000 meter elevation.
