Yoshimi Onsen Center is located in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi prefecture, at the western tip of Japan's main island. Its sodium-chloride water emerges at around 41°C. The facility has an indoor bath, an outdoor bath and a sauna.
Insider tip — At the western tip of Honshu where the Kanmon Strait separates Japan from Kyushu, Yoshimi Onsen Center draws on deep saline springs beneath the ancient samurai battleground; after bathing, the Kanmon Bridge and views of the Straits where the 1185 Battle of Dan-no-ura ended the Genpei War make for a memorable historical contrast.
