Shima Onsen Kashikojima is a coastal hot spring resort in Shima, a city in the scenic Shima Peninsula of Mie Prefecture, Japan, centered on the celebrated Kashikojima Island and Bay within the Ise-Shima National Park — a landscape of spectacular rias coastline, pearl raft farms, and the ancient Ama diving women whose free-diving tradition for abalone and pearl oysters has been practiced for over 2,000 years. The naturally chloride-sodium thermal waters reflect the mineral richness of the Kii Peninsula's coastal geology, valued for their warming and skin-nourishing properties that perfectly complement the marine atmosphere of this pearl-farming national park. As the host city of the 2016 G7 Ise-Shima Summit, Kashikojima combines international prestige with an intimate, deeply traditional Pearl Coast onsen experience in one of Japan's most beautiful national park settings.
