Inazawa Pokapoka Onsen, in Aichi Prefecture, fills its baths with sodium-chloride thermal water at 40°C (104°F). The bathhouse offers an indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo bath and a sauna, in a neighbourhood-bathhouse setting.
Insider tip — Inazawa is famous throughout Japan for two things: its spectacular peony gardens (Tsutsujigaoka Peony Garden, 100,000+ peonies blooming in late April) and its extraordinary 'Hadaka Matsuri' (Naked Festival) at Konomiya Shrine — one of Japan's three great naked festivals, held in February when thousands of loincloth-clad men jostle to touch a 'sin man' (shinoto) who absorbs all their bad luck for the year. Inazawa Pokapoka Onsen provides warming thermal comfort after any season's festivities.
