Tomonoura Onsen Hotel Oufutei

This hot spring hotel overlooks the Seto Inland Sea in Tomonoura, a place that retains the look of an old port town. Sensuijima floats just before your eyes, and you can enjoy the bright, open seascape. Day-use bathing is accepted, making it an easy stop during sightseeing.

Highlights

The greatest draw is the open-air bath with its sweeping view of the Seto Inland Sea. Soaking in the natural radium spring water, you can gaze at passing boats and the scattered islands. A sauna is available too, so you can spend time tuning up while looking out over the sea.

Enjoying the Seasons

In spring the sea takes on a warm color, in summer the blue sky and island silhouettes are beautiful, and in autumn a clear sunset dyes the Seto Inland Sea. In winter you warm your body in the bath while looking out at the calm sea. Bathing at dusk lets you enjoy beautiful sky colors in any season.

Access and Basic Information

The hotel is in Tomo, Tomo-cho, Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, about 25 minutes by car or bus from Fukuyama Station. Reception hours and fees for day-use bathing may change, so check the official information before visiting. It pairs well with a stroll through the streets of Tomonoura.

A Quick Tip

Combining this with a walk through the old streets of Tomonoura is recommended. Taking the ferry over to Sensuijima is also fun, so consider extending your trip after your bath.
