Final Verdict: 4.5 Chainsaws Out of 5
Would I recommend Chainsaw Man Hot Spring Travel? Yes — if you’re prepared to cry in a bathhouse. It’s a trip that asks: What does healing look like for people who’ve forgotten they deserve it?

The Likely Candidate: Hoshi Onsen (Chichibu, Saitama)
Located deep in the mountains of Saitama Prefecture, Hoshi Onsen (literally "Star Hot Spring") is a wooden, three-story time capsule built in the early Showa era. Here is why it fits the Chainsaw Man mold:
- The Retro Aesthetic: The manga depicts a dilapidated, wooden changing room and a cloudy outdoor bath. Hoshi Onsen has a legendary rotemburo (open-air bath) set against a vertical cliff face. The water is a milky, sulfurous white—exactly the kind of opaque water that hides a shark devil or a pair of floating Power horns.
- The Isolation: The inn is accessible only by a single, winding mountain road. This mirrors the "trapped" feeling of the arc. You are far from the Tokyo of Special Division 4.
- The "Aging" Vibe: The internet calls it a "haunted onsen." While not actually haunted, the creaking floorboards and antique furniture evoke the unnerving peace before a storm—very Chainsaw Man.
Visit Info: 2 hours from central Tokyo by car. Fan Tip: The men’s and women’s baths swap daily, so you can see the exact angle of the cliff that appears in the background of Aki’s brooding shot. Part 4: Essential Packing for the Chainsaw Man
3. How to Get There (The Devil Hunter Route)
Getting to Nasu is part of the adventure. Here is the most efficient route from Tokyo, mirroring the Public Safety team's journey (minus the bullet train assassination attempt).
- Step 1: Depart from Tokyo Station. Take the JR Tohoku Shinkansen (Yamabiko or Nasuno train).
- Step 2: Arrive at Nasushiobara Station. The journey takes approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. This is the closest bullet train station to the hot spring area.
- Step 3: Local Transport. From Nasushiobara Station, take a local bus or a taxi up into the mountain area where the hotels are located. The ride takes about 20–30 minutes.
