Kamiyama Onsen

This historic hot spring wells up in Kamiyama town among the mountains of Tokushima. Said to date back to the Keio era, it offers both day-use baths and lodging and has long been loved by locals and travelers alike.

Highlights

The distinctive salt spring, which contains sodium bicarbonate, has a slightly slippery feel. It is famed for leaving the skin silky smooth afterward and is known as a beauty bath. The salt-rich water warms you thoroughly, loosening a chilled body from the core.

Enjoying the Seasons

Spring brings cherry blossoms, summer the clear streams and mountain greenery, and autumn foliage that dyes the valley. After walking through Kamiyama, lately noted as a town of art and satellite offices, a leisurely soak makes a fine finish.

Access and Basic Information

It is in Jinryo, Kamiyama town, Myozai District. Driving from central Tokushima via Route 438 is convenient. A day-use bathing facility is attached.

A Quick Tip

Since the water leaves skin smooth, do not forget to moisturize afterward. Combined with the town cafes and craft studios, it makes an enjoyable half-day plan.
