Amanohashidate Onsen Chie no Yu in Miyazu

Welling up right beside Amanohashidate, one of Japans three famed views, Chie no Yu is a public bath easy to drop into between sights. Inside, wrapped in the scent of wood, a soak in the soft water eases the fatigue of travel. Named after the nearby Chion Temple, it has long been loved locally as a beauty spring.

Highlights

- Superb access just steps from Amanohashidate Station - A beauty spring that settles gently into the skin - A calm interior with the warmth of wood - A variety of baths including an open air pool and a hand and foot bath

Enjoying the Seasons

Amanohashidate is lovely in every season, with spring cherry blossoms, summer seas, autumn foliage and winter snow to enjoy year round alongside sightseeing. After touring the lookout famed for the upside down view or walking the sandbar, warming up at Chie no Yu makes the trip feel complete. Savoring Tango seafood after the bath is another delight.
