Nioh 3 is out and it brings a ton of new things for us to do including finding Hot Spring locations. In total, the game has 26 Hot Springs and each offers a little amount of Yokai Teardrops, making these Hot Springs one of the best early game methods for farming Yokai Teardrops.
But locating all Hot Springs also unlocks the Spa Lower Achievement and Trophy. Hot Springs, as you may already know if you played games like Code Vein 3, are little pools of water where your character can rest.
In the case of Nioh 3’s take of Hot Springs, the player can rest and also get a healing buff. The locations of Hot Springs are marked on your map automatically when you find other collectibles to reach Exploration Level 4 in any region of the game.
Open the map and press R2/RT to enter the collectible tracker for each region. From there you can place markers on each of them to find easily whenever you have the time.
Important: The open world has 20 Hot Springs because three of them can not be marked on the map as they part of the missions areas that are closed off from the open world. So right from the start make sure to track down all of them if you want 100% completion.

In the Warring States you can find 9 Hot Springs but each one is inside the region where you need to meet the level requirement for exploration. That’s the case with every Hot Spring in every region.

Final Hot Spring in Battle of Edo
The final Hot Spring is not out in the open world. It can only be acquired during the “Sinister End” main mission. At the 6th Shrine “Edo Castle: Keep Watchtower”, you come across this Hot Spring just before going into the Dead Veil fight.
Go right from the Shrine and through the balcony with the privacy screens. The Hot Spring is in the lower section of the shrine. Use the Spirit Veins to reach the lower area.
This will be the last Hot Spring in Nioh 3, completing your hunt for all 26 Hot Springs.
