Hanazono Shin Onsen is located in the city of Yamatokoriyama, Nara Prefecture. Its sodium-chloride thermal water reaches around 40°C (pH 7.3), with an indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo and a sauna.
Insider tip — Eastern Nara Prefecture is a landscape of extraordinary historical density — the Makimuku royal palace district (3rd-4th century AD, Japan's earliest), Yamato-Koriyama's goldfish-breeding tradition (one of Japan's premier goldfish production areas), and the pilgrimage paths through the Yoshino mountains connecting Shinto and Buddhist sacred sites. Hanazono Shin Onsen serves communities on the edge of Japan's most ancient imperial heartland, where every field may conceal a kofun burial mound of some early emperor or chieftain. Nara Prefecture's quiet depths are as profound as its famous deer parks.
