Jurassic Onsen Churaumi-no-Yu

Located in Bise in Motobu, within a resort hotel close to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and Emerald Beach, Jurassic Onsen Churaumi-no-Yu lives up to its name. It is a natural hot spring rising from extremely ancient strata, and from the semi-open-air bath you can look out over Ie Island and the emerald-green sea.

Highlights

Soaking in water that springs from primeval layers, you can feel the breath of an earth that grew rich over an immense span of time. From the semi-open-air bath, taking in the bright ocean colors while sensing the sea breeze fulfills a luxury found only in Okinawa.

Enjoying the Seasons

In summer it is the finishing touch after enjoying the aquarium and beach, while in winter it serves as a bath that skillfully warms the body. In high summer, you can savor the sea at dusk while gazing at a long, bright sky.

Access and Basic Information

About 50 minutes by car from the Kyoda Interchange on the Okinawa Expressway, and within walking distance of the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. Reception hours and fees for day visitors may change, so it is reassuring to check the official site before your visit.

A Quick Tip

Pairing this with a visit to the Churaumi Aquarium and stopping by at the close of the day is highly recommended. Soaking and resting tired feet leaves you feeling light for the next day's adventures.
