Miyagino Onsen Kaikan, in Hadano (Kanagawa prefecture), uses sodium-chloride water at 41°C. The complex brings together an indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo bath, and a sauna at the edge of the Tanzawa mountains.
Insider tip — Miyagino Onsen Kaikan is a community bathhouse in Hadano, a city at the foot of the Tanzawa Mountains in Kanagawa Prefecture. The saline thermal water from the Kanto region's deep aquifers keeps bathers warm through cool mountain winters and relieves the aches of hiking season. Hadano is a quiet getaway from nearby Yokohama and Tokyo, and this onsen is a local institution for post-hike recovery. Weekend mornings are peaceful here, with views of the Tanzawa foothills framed by sliding wooden bath doors.
