SodiumChloruresBrome
Inari Onsen is located in the heart of Osaka. Sodium-chloride water rises here at 41°C, split between an indoor bath and an open-air rotenburo, with a sauna available to visitors.
Insider tip — Named for the Inari fox deity of abundance, this Osaka sento draws on deep saline aquifers beneath the city. The kuro-yu black water is rich in minerals and the neighbourhood atmosphere around the Nishiyodogawa ward remains authentically working-class Osaka.
