Mishima Onsen Shizuoka is a hot spring facility in Mishima, a city at the northern base of the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, celebrated for its stunning Mishima Taisha shrine — one of the most important Shinto shrines in eastern Japan — and for the crystal-clear waters flowing throughout the city from springs fed by Mount Fuji's volcanic snowmelt. The naturally bicarbonate-enriched thermal waters are valued for their alkaline, skin-softening properties, offering bathers a refreshing and purifying soak in a city already blessed with exceptional natural water quality. Combining proximity to the majestic Fuji volcanic zone, the spiritual significance of Mishima Taisha, and the gentle wellness of bicarbonate hot spring bathing, this onsen provides a harmonious and culturally resonant experience.

Insider tip — Mishima Onsen lies at the base of the Izu volcanic chain where bicarbonate-rich groundwater filters through old lava strata before surfacing at around 40°C. The gentle alkaline waters are renowned locally for smooth skin and mild detoxifying effects. The famous Mishima Taisha shrine is a short walk away, making a shrine visit and onsen soak a natural pairing. Spring cherry blossoms along the Genbei River complete the setting.
