SodiumChloruresBrome
Sera Onsen, in Sera town (Hiroshima prefecture), draws on sodium-chloride water at 41°C. The onsen combines an indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo bath, and a sauna, sometimes paired with popular taishu engeki theatre performances.
Insider tip — Taishu Engeki at Sera Onsen combines popular variety theater with Hiroshima mountain spring bathing in Sera-cho — Japan rose capital where the annual Rose Festival transforms the highland plateau into a spectacle of 700 varieties and 50,000 blooms at 400 metres elevation each May and June. The Sera plateau has been cultivated for roses since the 1960s when local farmers pioneered cool-mountain floriculture, and the Sera Rosa Rose Park now draws flower enthusiasts from across the Sanyo coast to these mist-cooled highland gardens.
