Gyoda Tennen Onsen, part of the Kodaihasu Monogatari complex, is set in Gyoda, Saitama prefecture. Its sodium-chloride water emerges at 41°C with a pH of 7.3, alongside an indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo and a sauna.
Insider tip — Gyoda Tennen Onsen Kodaihasu Monogatari, meaning Ancient Lotus Tale, celebrates the region's fame for ancient lotus seeds that were germinated after lying dormant for two millennia in Gyoda's soil. The natural sodium-chloride bath mirrors that sense of timeless renewal, its mineral-rich water leaving skin notably smooth. The interior design incorporates lotus motifs throughout. Visit in late June when the reconstructed lotus pond outside blooms in vivid pink.
