Yuya Kotohiki Kairo

This natural hot spring stands beside the scenic Kotohiki Park, close to Ariake Beach in Kanonji. Its open setting, framed by pine groves, sand, and the Seto Inland Sea, is its pride.

Highlights

From the sea-facing open-air baths you can take in the calm horizon of the Seto Inland Sea. A rich lineup of distinctive saunas lets you spend ample time moving between baths and cooling down.

Enjoying the Seasons

In summer combine a soak with a swim at Ariake Beach, and in autumn and winter enjoy bathing while watching the sunset in crisp air. Pairing it with a look at the nearby Zenigata sand coin design is also recommended.

Access and Basic Information

It is a few minutes by car from JR Kanonji Station. Adjoining Kotohiki Park, it is easy to visit alongside Ariake Beach and the sand design, with a large car park for those arriving by car.

A Quick Tip

Dusk is the loveliest hour, when the sun sinks into the sea, so time your visit to sunset for the finest open-air view.
