Yunohana Onsen Aichi

Yunohana Onsen Aichi is a thermal facility in the greater Nagoya metropolitan area of Aichi Prefecture in central Honshu, offering siliceous hot spring waters from the deep geological formations of the Nobi Plain — the alluvial lowland at the head of Ise Bay where the Kiso, Nagara, and Ibi rivers converge in Japan's most complex river delta system — within Japan's fourth-largest city and the heart of the global automotive industry. Nagoya is the global headquarters of Toyota Motor Corporation, the world's largest automotive manufacturer, and the industrial backbone of the Tōkai region's extraordinary manufacturing economy that has made central Japan one of the most productive industrial landscapes in the world. The siliceous onsen tradition of the Nagoya region provides an essential counterpoint to the intense industrial and commercial character of Aichi Prefecture, offering urban residents of one of Japan's most economically productive metropolitan areas a therapeutic escape into the ancient geological warmth beneath the Nobi Plain.
