Wakita Onsen

Springing up at the foot of the graceful Inunaki range, Wakita Onsen is an old bath recorded in an Edo period gazetteer of the Chikuzen region. Soaked to the murmur of the Inunaki River, its alkaline simple spring is praised for leaving the skin smooth, and it is loved as the leading spa village of Miyawaka City.

Highlights

- A long-established inn standing on either side of the Inunaki River, with a tasteful layout linked by covered corridors - A silky alkaline simple spring and a varied set of inventive open-air baths - A bathing retreat with ample family baths where even day visitors can spend a relaxed stretch of time

Enjoying the Seasons

Spring shows fresh greenery along the river, summer brings the cool murmur of the Inunaki River, and autumn frames the foliage that dyes the surrounding hills. In winter the bath eases the chill of golden orb weaver season and the quiet mountain air with its warming water.
