Matsuba Onsen Taki no Yu

In the mountains of Kaizuka City, Osaka, beside the Chikiri River, Matsuba Onsen Taki no Yu is a lodging and day-use hot spring with a natural radon spring. The radon water rising from granite warms the body easily and, once warm, is slow to cool. In a quiet setting wrapped in the sound of water and greenery, you can enjoy an unhurried soak.

Highlights

- A natural radon spring that warms you from the core, the pride of the inn. - A nature-rich location where you sense the murmur of the Chikiri River. - Indoor and open-air baths where you soak while viewing the mountain scenery of each season. - The convenience of serving both overnight and day-use guests.

Enjoying the Seasons

With dazzling greenery in spring, a cool river breeze in summer, and foliage in autumn, the valley shows a different face each season. In the easily chilly winter, the welcome warmth of the radon spring sinks in all the more. Strolling by the river after the bath is another pleasant way to spend the time.
