Insider tip — Tsuru no Yu and Arashi no Yu at Akaiwa Onsen serve the Yoshii River valley where the Tsuru (crane) and Arashi (storm) dual-bath concept evokes the contrasting moods of the Bizen highland landscape. Akaiwa is the southern gateway to the Bizen pottery tradition — Bizen-yaki, one of Japan six ancient kilns, has fired unglazed stoneware in the iron-rich clay of these Okayama hills for 900 years, and the Imbe district of Akaiwa City remains the living center of a Bizen ceramic art whose austere flame-marked surfaces are prized by tea ceremony practitioners worldwide.
