Naruto Onsen

This natural hot spring belongs to a resort within the Setonaikai National Park, overlooking the Naruto Strait. You can enjoy both the sea scenery famed for its whirlpools and a bath long cherished as a beauty spring.

Highlights

From the open-air and view baths, the horizon and the silhouette of the Onaruto Bridge stretch before you. The salt-rich water wraps the skin softly and is known for leaving it smooth. Bathing while feeling the sea breeze offers the pure comfort of a southern resort.

Enjoying the Seasons

From spring through autumn the blue sea and bridge views are crisp, and summer nights of fireworks and surf are exceptional. The whirlpools grow largest at certain tides, so pairing your visit with whirlpool viewing makes for a full day.

Access and Basic Information

It is in Tosadomari-ura, Naruto-cho, Naruto City. It is a very short drive from the Naruto-kita Interchange on the Kobe-Awaji-Naruto Expressway, and about 15 minutes by taxi from JR Naruto Station.

A Quick Tip

At dusk the sea and bridge glow orange for a stunning view. Check the whirlpool viewing times in advance and plan a sightseeing boat together with your soak.
