Senshin no Yu Hot Spring

Indoor hot spring bath with natural stone design and large windows overlooking greenery and ocean at a luxury ryokan on Awaji Island.

Natural Hot Spring Experience

The hot spring “Senshin no Yu” is a free-flowing hot spring that bubbles up from the heart of Awaji Island. The simple spring waters (hypotonic, slightly alkaline) are gentle on the skin, making them suitable for even those with sensitive skin to bathe in without irritating the body. Just by soaking in the hot spring, stiff muscles and joints, fatigue, coldness, and tension caused by stress will slowly melt away. Relaxing in the hot springs while surrounded by nature and looking out at the ocean view on Awaji Island is sure to leave you with a deep sense of relaxation and tranquility of mind.
