Komeiseki Onsen, known as Kureha no Yu, is located in the city of Toyama, facing the Sea of Japan. The sodium-chloride water, at 42°C, supplies an indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo and a sauna.
Insider tip — Kureha no Yu serves the Kureha foothills district of Toyama where the Japanese Alps drop sharply toward Toyama Bay. The bay is famed for the bioluminescent firefly squid (hotaruika) that glow blue beneath the spring waves each March, creating a spectacle visible from the outdoor rotenburo on clear nights.
