Shichikama Onsen Yuraku-kan

In the Shichikama hot spring area of Shin-onsen Town, Yuraku-kan is a day-use bath that proudly offers one hundred percent free-flowing source water, with no added water, no reheating, and no recirculation. A sulfate spring rich in sodium and calcium wells up hot, letting you experience the natural power of the water itself. In a quiet mountain setting, you can savor the real thing at leisure.

Highlights

The greatest appeal is the lavish flow of source water poured straight into the baths. With no chlorine treatment, you soak in fresh water just as it springs forth, and the fine feel on the skin is unmistakable. Along with the indoor bath there is an open-air bath where you can gaze at the mountain scenery, plus a private multipurpose bath that is popular with families.

Enjoying the Seasons

Winter brings the snow crab landed at nearby ports into season, perfect for a restorative trip pairing baths and crab. From spring through autumn, the open-air bath set against mountain greenery or fall colors feels wonderful, letting you feel the turning seasons as you soak. It suits those who want a quiet retreat.

Access and Basic Information

It sits in the hills about ten minutes by car from Hamasaka Station on the JR San-in Main Line. It is also worth combining with Yumura Onsen and Hamasaka Onsen. The facility keeps set hours and closing days, so check before you visit. Day-use bathing is available.

A Quick Tip

Free-flowing water is prized for its freshness, so take your time and soak slowly. Reserving the private multipurpose bath lets your family or group enjoy the source water without reserve.
