Kofuku Onsen is located in Matsubara, Osaka Prefecture, south of the Kansai metropolis. Sodium-chloride thermal water flows at 41°C through an indoor bath, a rotenburo, and a sauna.
Insider tip — Kofuku (幸福 — happiness) Onsen draws deep geothermal water from the Osaka Basin in Matsubara City, known for its multicultural character and vibrant yakiniku (Korean-style BBQ) culture reflecting one of Osaka's most diverse communities. The name 'Kofuku' embodies the Japanese ideal of simple contentment — a neighborhood sento as a daily ritual of wellbeing rather than a luxury experience.
