Miyazawako Onsen, Kirakuri Bettei, is located in Hannō, Saitama prefecture, Japan. Its sodium-chloride thermal water, at 40°C, fills an indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo and a sauna.
Insider tip — Hannō is the gateway to the Okutama and Okumusashino wilderness — the wild forested highlands that form Tokyo's western green lung. Miyazawako Onsen Kirakuri Bettei is a ryokan-style retreat near Miyazawa Lake, offering the dark sodium-chloride waters typical of the Kanto region's deep aquifers. An ideal Tokyo day-trip base: hike the Okumusashino trails in the morning, retreat to the ryokan onsen in the afternoon.
