Yumotokan, in Toyooka (Hyogo prefecture), in the historic town of Izushi, heats sodium-chloride water to 41°C. An indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo bath, and a sauna are on offer.
Insider tip — Yumotokan at Izushi Onsen serves the Izushi district of Toyooka City, one of Japan most completely preserved small castle town streetscapes where the defensive walls, samurai house alleys, and merchant districts of the Edo-period Izushi Domain survive virtually intact. Izushi is Japan most celebrated soba town — the Ichijo district concentrates 50+ soba restaurants serving the buckwheat noodles associated with this castle town since the domain lord introduced buckwheat cultivation in the 17th century — and the cold mountain waters that flow through Izushi create ideal conditions for hand-rolled soba of exceptional quality.
