Wakayama Mihama Onsen

Mihama, in the central Wakayama Prefecture on the Kishima coast facing Osaka Bay, is a small fishing and resort community whose traditional Wakayama coastal lifestyle, the scenic Cape Murotsu headland, and the proximity to the popular Wakayama Marina City coastal resort complex create a modest but pleasantly maritime spa setting on the inner Kii Peninsula coast. Wakayama Mihama Onsen draws on chloride-rich coastal thermal waters from the marine geological formations of the central Wakayama Kishima coastline, providing warming maritime baths in a coastal community whose fishing tradition, bay scenery, and access to the Wakayama Marina City leisure complex create a straightforwardly pleasant coastal spa setting in central Wakayama. The Wakayama Marina City Portuguese-themed resort complex with its fresh seafood market and outlet shopping, the traditional Mihama fishing harbour fresh catch culture, and the coastal road cycling along the inner Kii Peninsula coastline toward Arida and Yuasa historic towns create a pleasantly coastal and accessibly recreational spa destination in central Wakayama Prefecture.
