Kuchisakamoto Onsen Yokujo is located in Kawane, Shizuoka Prefecture, in a mountainous area. Its sodium-chloride thermal water reaches around 40°C (pH 7.3), with an indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo and a sauna.
Insider tip — The Kuchisakamoto area in the western Shizuoka mountains follows the Oi River gorge into the South Alps foothills — one of central Japan's most dramatic river valleys. The Tenryu and Oi rivers carved these landscapes over millennia; traditional forestry and hand-farmed tea terraces define the valley communities. This onsen yokujo (public bath hall) serves mountain village residents who commute along precipitous mountain roads, offering the communal bathing tradition that has sustained isolated highland communities throughout Japan's interior.
