Tenbo Onsen Honobono Yu is set in Uchinada, Ishikawa Prefecture, near the Sea of Japan coastline. The sodium-chloride water is heated to 41°C. The complex includes an indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo bath and a sauna.
Insider tip — Honobono Yu serves Uchinada-machi on the Kaga coastal dune system of Ishikawa Prefecture where the Japan Sea wind shapes the longest uninterrupted sand-dune coastline in Japan stretching from the Kahoku Lagoon to the Kaga spa district. Uchinada was famously the location of Japan post-war artillery testing range established by American occupation forces in 1952, whose removal after fierce local protest in 1957 became a landmark case in Japanese civil resistance that restored the dunes to the fishing community whose livelihood they had sustained for centuries.
