Itsukaichi Tennen Onsen, known as Yurayura, is a hot-spring bath in Itsukaichi, Hiroshima Prefecture. The natural sodium-chloride water, at 41°C, feeds an indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo and a sauna.
Insider tip — Yurayura, meaning something gently swaying or shimmering, describes both the heat-haze rising from these western Hiroshima pools and the unhurried pace within. The Itsukaichi district, now part of Hiroshima city, faces Miyajima Island across the Seto Inland Sea and provides an authentic local alternative to the tourist resorts.
