Miegusuku Onsen Shimanchu no Yu (Loisir Hotel Naha)

Although it sits in the heart of central Naha, this is a rare free-flowing source spring for a city location. The source is fossil seawater from roughly eight million years ago, warmed by geothermal heat, and the water carries a salt content quite different from volcanic hot springs.

Highlights

The biggest appeals are the ease of access, only a few minutes by car from Naha Airport, and the surprise of enjoying a genuine hot spring in an urban setting. The lightly salty water warms the body to the core, and the cozy warmth lingers long after you climb out. Being able to combine the spring with a pool is another welcome touch.

Enjoying the Seasons

It is comfortable to enter all year, and it is perfect after a long journey when visiting Naha for sightseeing or business. In summer, alternate between the pool and the spring; in winter, settle your body in the warm water.

Access and Basic Information

It is located inside Loisir Hotel Naha, only about seven minutes by car from Naha Airport. Some day-use plans include towel rental. Because the facility may close occasionally for maintenance, be sure to check the official site before you visit.

A Quick Tip

It is also great for a refresh when you have time before your flight departs. Since the water is fairly salty, remember to rehydrate well after your bath.
