OVERVIEW

Treat your feet to a steam kotatsu

During February, if you feel cold while you are exploring Unzen, you can heat yourself back up with a special steam "kotatsu" in the heart of the Unzen hells.

A kotatsu is a heated table with a thick blanket under which you can warm your legs. They can be found in homes across Japan throughout the cold winters! In Unzen, the boundless natural steam provides the heat from below a wooden deck.

Come and enjoy this traditional Japanese winter comfort with a twist!
