Echizen Onsen Roten Buro Isaribi

Attached to Michi no Eki Echizen on the Echizen coast, the open-air day-trip bath called Isaribi is a facility that prides itself on sweeping views of the Sea of Japan from atop a cliff. Its sodium chloride water warms the body to the core.

Highlights

The greatest appeal is the vast ocean spread out before you. From the bath you can enjoy the blue sea by day, the sun sinking into the horizon at dusk, and at night a dreamlike panorama of flickering fishing lights.

Enjoying the Seasons

Winter overlaps with the season of the famous Echizen crab, so you can savor the flavor after your bath. Summer bathing in the sea breeze is pleasant, while the rough winter Sea of Japan is also a powerful sight.

Access and Basic Information

Access by car from stations such as JR Takefu is convenient, and it sits within the grounds of Michi no Eki Echizen. It is often closed on Tuesdays, so checking in advance is reassuring.

A Quick Tip

If you are aiming for both the sunset and the fishing lights, entering before sunset and lingering into the night is the ultimate luxury.
