Owari Onsen Tokai Center, in the town of Kanie, Aichi Prefecture, offers sodium-chloride thermal water at 40°C. It has an indoor bath, an outdoor bath (rotenburo) and a sauna.
Insider tip — Kanie lies on the Nobi Plain — the flat agricultural heartland of ancient Owari Province, birthplace of Oda Nobunaga, the warlord who launched Japan's unification in the 16th century. The plain's proximity to Ise Bay means the aquifer here carries the saline character of coastal springs. 'Owari Onsen' keeps this ancient provincial name alive in a landscape now dominated by Nagoya's industrial sprawl — a small invocation of the warlord-era past in a very contemporary Aichi setting.
