Nishiura Onsen Gamagori is a coastal hot spring resort in Gamagori, a city on the shores of Mikawa Bay in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, famous for its Takeshima Island — a small shrine island connected by a 387-meter bridge — and its role as gateway to the Mikawa Bay National Park's intricate coastline of shellfish aquaculture and winter waterbird habitats. The naturally chloride-sodium saline thermal waters carry the distinctive mineral character of Mikawa Bay's coastal geothermal zone, prized for their deeply warming and skin-softening properties suited to seaside wellness. With its traditional ryokan and kaiseki cuisine culture, Nishiura is one of the Tokai region's most beloved classic hot spring resorts, offering ocean views, fresh seafood, and mineral bathing in a genuinely Japanese coastal resort tradition.

Insider tip — Nishiura Onsen at Gamagori occupies a narrow strip of coast on Mikawa Bay, where grand wooden ryokan have welcomed guests since the Meiji era. The briny sodium-chloride water at 44 °C warms quickly and the bay's calm waters allow guests to enjoy kayaking or sailing between morning and afternoon baths. Clam and shrimp harvested from the bay's tidal flats appear at every dinner table.
