This is a map that contains every hot spring in Nikko, plotted geographically. All 190 of them, across nine areas, colour-coded by area with notes on accessibility on each.
I compiled this map because Nikko terrain is a combination of mountains, valleys, rivers and not all of them are accessible through public transport. I find it useful to look at maps when planning itineraries so I can visualize the trip and how the logistics work, which brought me to build this.
My credentials: I love onsens and I live in Nikko.

Use the layer list in the top-left corner to choose which areas to display, if you already have a general idea of where you will be touring and is simply figuring out the best lodging option.
