Kasama Onsen is located in Kasama City, Ibaraki Prefecture, a city of remarkable cultural vitality known throughout Japan for two extraordinary specialties: the Kasama Inari Shrine — one of Japan's three great Inari shrines dedicated to the fox deity of rice and commercial success, with millions of annual worshippers visiting during the Chrysanthemum Festival — and the Kasama pottery tradition, whose distinctive stoneware craftsmanship has established this Ibaraki city as one of the Kanto region's most celebrated folk ceramic centers. The siliceous thermal waters here complement a city where Shinto shrine culture, folk pottery traditions, and chrysanthemum cultivation create an extraordinary combination of religious devotion and artisanal heritage. Bathing at Kasama Onsen after visiting the great Inari shrine and the pottery studios that have made Kasama synonymous with Kanto folk craft provides a complete cultural and thermal wellness experience in one of Ibaraki's most artistically and spiritually vibrant cities.
