Hanasaki no Yu, in Ageo (Saitama prefecture), draws natural sodium-chloride water at 41°C. An indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo bath, and a sauna make up this neighborhood onsen.
Insider tip — Hanasaki no Yu, the flower-blooming spring, serves Ageo City in the Saitama northern plain where the annual Ageo Citizen Festival celebrates the chrysanthemum — the city flower — with spectacular floral displays each November. Ageo was historically a post town on the Nakasendo highway where travelers rested before the climb into the Musashi uplands, and the city preserves the atmospheric shopfront streetscape of its post-town heritage alongside the suburban development that has made it a major commuter community on the Takasaki Line.
