This Michi no Eki roadside station in Tsuwano, Shimane Prefecture, houses the Nagomi no Sato Asagiri no Yu onsen. Its sodium-chloride water rises at 41°C, feeding an indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo bath and a sauna.
Insider tip — In Tsuwano, the Little Kyoto of the San-in region with its carp-filled canals, samurai district, and rice paddies threading between historic streets, Asagiri no Yu (morning mist waters) is perfectly named for the ethereal fog that clings to these valley mountains at dawn; pause the roadside station journey to absorb one of the most atmospherically preserved small towns in western Japan.
