Tennen Onsen Tsuki Chiiki Koryukan (Gran Spa Kanoen), in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture, heats sodium-chloride water to 41°C, with an indoor bath, an open-air outdoor bath (rotenburo) and a sauna.
Insider tip — Gran Spa Kanoen serves Takaoka City, one of Japan premier traditional craft centers where the Takaoka casting industry producing copper and bronze ware has operated continuously for over 400 years since the founding daimyo Maeda Toshinaga established metalwork workshops in 1609. The Takaoka Great Buddha cast in 1933 stands 15.85 metres tall and is counted among Japan three great outdoor Buddhas, while the city tram system — one of very few surviving in Hokuriku — connects the historic bronze-workshop district with the magnificent Zuiryuji Zen temple complex.
