Bizan no Yu

This natural hot spring with a view sits on the top floor of a hotel near the station in central Tokushima City. Easy to drop into at the start or end of a journey, it is beloved as an in-town bathing spot.

Highlights

The high-floor windows frame the symbolic Mount Bizan and the cityscape of Tokushima. Soaking in the sodium chloride spring, you can enjoy blue skies by day and a glittering night view after dark. Day-use bathing is welcome, and the excellent access is a real draw.

Enjoying the Seasons

In summer, stroll the streets buzzing with the Awa Odori festival after your bath; in autumn, watch Mount Bizan turn color from the tub. In winter, warming up and then trying a bowl of Tokushima ramen at a local shop makes a fine outing.

Access and Basic Information

It is inside a hotel in Motomachi, Tokushima City. Within walking distance of JR Tokushima Station, it enjoys excellent public-transport access. Day-use bathing is available for non-guests as well.

A Quick Tip

For the night view, the hour after sunset is especially fine. Being close to the station, it also works for a quick soak while waiting for a train.
