Asebi Onsen Yasuragi no Sato is located in the town of Itano, Tokushima Prefecture. Its sodium-chloride thermal water is kept around 40°C (pH 7.3), with an indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo and a sauna.
Insider tip — Itano-cho faces the Kii Channel near the spectacular Naruto Whirlpools — tidal vortices reaching 30 meters in diameter created where Pacific and Seto Inland Sea tides collide at the Naruto Strait twice daily. The observation bridges and glass-floor walkways make Naruto one of Shikoku's most visited natural spectacles. Asebi (Japanese andromeda) flowers bloom delicately in early spring, before the sakura, as the first white bell-clusters on the hillsides. The Awa Odori festival transforms all of Tokushima into a joyous dance in August — Yasuragi no Sato (village of peace) offers the quiet counterpart.
