Hayato Onsen Tsuru no Yu is located in Mishima, Fukushima prefecture. The sodium-chloride water emerges at around 40°C. The facility includes an indoor bath, an open-air outdoor bath and a sauna, offering a relaxing stop in this mountainous part of Japan.
Insider tip — Mishima-machi sits deep in the Oku-Aizu mountains along the Tadami River, a pristine mountain waterway whose valley railway (Tadami Line) is famous for its bridged reflections in the river — photographed extensively for its autumn foliage vistas. Tsuru no Yu (Crane Spring) is named for the beloved auspicious bird; cranes symbolize longevity in Japanese culture, an appropriate symbol for healing mountain waters. The Aizu region's samurai heritage and lacquerware craft tradition complete this picture of western Fukushima's quiet mountain culture.
