Yuba Jima Onsen is a hot spring located in Yubahama, Shimane Prefecture, Japan. Its sodium-chloride water emerges at around 41°C, feeding an indoor bath and an open-air outdoor bath (rotenburo), along with a sauna.
Insider tip — Yuba Jima Onsen sits on the Sea of Japan coast of Shimane Prefecture, where sodium-chloride waters warmed by geothermal heat flow from rocky inland formations. The salt-rich brine leaves skin silky and is renowned for warming the body long after you leave the water. Visit in autumn when the surrounding hills turn crimson and the Sea of Japan is especially dramatic.
