Onsen Tengoku Yotsuya no Yu, located in Takaoka (Toyama), circulates sodium-chloride water at 42°C between its indoor bath and outdoor rotenburo bath, with a sauna as well.
Insider tip — Yotsuya no Yu, the four valleys spring, serves the western outskirts of Takaoka where the Noto Peninsula road begins. The facility draws from coastal Toyama saline aquifers, and after your soak the Zuiryuji Zen temple, a National Treasure, is minutes away for an encounter with exceptional Edo-period garden design.
