Spa World The Great Onsen of the World

Rising right beside Tsutenkaku, the symbol of Shinsekai in Osaka, Spa World The Great Onsen of the World is a giant hot spring theme park themed on baths from countries around the globe. Divided into a European Zone and an Asian Zone, it gathers varied bathing rooms inspired by ancient Rome, the Mediterranean, and Bali, adding a sense of travel to your soak. With pools, stone-bed saunas, and lodging, it is an urban resort where you can spend an entire day.
