Insider tip — Shin Kikusui (新菊水 — new chrysanthemum water) Onsen is in northern Osaka near the Yodogawa River — 'kikusui' is one of the most poetic spring names in Japanese tradition, evoking chrysanthemum petals floating on a pure mountain stream, a Taoist image of immortality. This northern Osaka sento draws dark sodium-chloride water from deep Osaka Basin formations; the nearby Yodogawa River embankment is popular for cherry blossoms and fireworks.
