Yumigahama Onsen (Minato Yu), in Minami-Izu-cho, Shizuoka prefecture, Japan, draws sodium-chloride water at 42°C for its indoor bath and outdoor rotenburo; a sauna is on site.
Insider tip — On the southern tip of the Izu Peninsula where the bow-shaped Yumigahama beach curves elegantly along a subtropical Pacific cove, Minato Yu (harbor spring) draws saline waters with the mineral energy of this geologically young volcanic coastline; the southern Izu Peninsula's rugged coastal scenery — sea caves, hot spring waterfalls, and exotic subtropical vegetation — is among the most dramatically beautiful in the Kanto region.
