Higashi Hiroshima Onsen is located in Higashi-Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture, a university city (home to Hiroshima University) and Japan's premier sake-producing region — the Saijo sake district concentrating some of Japan's most revered sake breweries in a compact area of traditional brewhouse architecture where cold, pure mountain water has sustained fermentation craftsmanship since the Meiji era. The siliceous thermal waters here complement a city where academic culture, traditional brewing heritage, and Hiroshima Prefecture's beautiful Chugoku Mountain landscapes converge.
