Takayu Onsen Kyodo Yokujo Attaka Yu is located in Fukushima, Fukushima Prefecture. Its sulfurous thermal water reaches 45°C with a pH of 6.5, alongside an indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo bath and a sauna.
Insider tip — 'Attaka Yu' (あったか湯 — warm spring) at Takayu Onsen Kyodo Yokujo — a public communal bath at Takayu Onsen (高湯温泉), one of Fukushima city's most beloved sulfurous spas in the Azuma-Bandai volcanic zone. Takayu sits at 750 m elevation on the approach to Azuma-Kofuji, the 'Little Fuji of Azuma.' The milky-white sulfurous waters are among Tohoku's most celebrated — powerfully hot, dramatically cloudy, and deeply warming in the cold mountain air. The 'kyodo yokujo' (共同浴場) public bath tradition here is centuries old.
