Shioiri Onsen

This quiet hot spring rises in a green valley of southern Manno town, surrounded by water and forest. Drawn from deep underground, its simple, unassuming character has earned it a name as a hidden spring of Sanuki.

Highlights

Ringed by mountains and a clear stream, it offers ever-changing countryside scenery through the seasons. In the stillness far from any bustle, you can spend an unhurried time soaking in the bath.

Enjoying the Seasons

Spring greenery, summer fireflies along the river, autumn foliage coloring the valley, and the hushed hamlet in winter each bring their own charm. The cherry blossoms of nearby Shioiri Park are another highlight.

Access and Basic Information

Head south into the hills by car from central Manno town. It is easy to reach on a drive from the Kotohira area, with nature-rich parks and reservoirs scattered nearby.

A Quick Tip

Set along a quiet mountain road, it is best visited in daylight before dusk. It suits anyone seeking a slow, relaxed pace.
