Nabari Onsen Mie is a natural hot spring facility in Nabari, a city in the northwestern corner of Mie Prefecture, Japan, situated at the crossroads of the Osaka, Nara, and Mie urban corridors in a mountainous area of deep valleys, the Akame 48 Waterfalls nature reserve, and traditional ninja culture as part of the legendary Iga and Kōka shinobi territory. The naturally bicarbonate-rich spring waters are prized in Japanese onsen tradition for their alkaline, skin-softening properties that leave bathers with a characteristic smooth 'bijin no yu' beauty water sensation. Combining easy access from the Kinki metropolitan region with the rugged natural beauty of Mie's mountainous interior and the mystique of Japan's ninja heritage, Nabari Onsen offers an appealing and culturally rich thermal bathing experience.

Insider tip — Nabari Onsen draws bicarbonate spring water from the Iga basin borderlands where Mie and Nara prefectures meet in forested valleys. The alkaline water at 40 °C softens the skin noticeably and the surrounding Akame 48 Waterfalls gorge offers excellent hiking before the soak. Autumn foliage here peaks in mid-November and turns the valley gold and crimson.
