Kakeroma Onsen is located on Kakeromajima Island in Setouchi Town, Kagoshima Prefecture, the second-largest island in the Amami island group — a dramatic, rugged island of deeply forested mountains, sea caves, and the extraordinary Yadon (Amami rabbit) habitat, accessible from Amami Oshima by ferry and offering a more remote and undeveloped alternative to Amami's main island resort infrastructure. The siliceous thermal waters here provide mineral spring bathing on an island of remarkable natural beauty, where the dramatic coastline of Kakeromajima's sea caves and forested coves, the clear subtropical waters of the surrounding Amami sea, and the island's relative remoteness create an atmosphere of genuine tropical island wilderness far from mainland Japanese tourism. Bathing at Kakeroma Onsen on this wild and forested Amami island provides a uniquely secluded and naturally immersive hot spring experience in one of the most pristine and least-developed islands in the Kagoshima island chain, where the siliceous thermal waters complement the extraordinary subtropical wilderness heritage that makes Kakeromajima one of the Amami group's most compelling destinations for nature travelers.
