Kimita Onsen Mori no Izumi welcomes visitors in Miyoshi, Hiroshima prefecture. The sodium-chloride water flows at 41°C. It offers an indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo bath and a sauna, set in a wooded, relaxing environment.
Insider tip — Mori no Izumi, the forest spring, serves the Kimita district of Miyoshi City in the remote Chugoku mountain interior of Hiroshima Prefecture where the Hinokami and Saijo rivers converge in a forested highland basin. Miyoshi City was historically the commercial hub of the San-in and San-yo trade routes crossing the Chugoku mountains, and the surrounding wilderness now forms the core of the Nishi-Chugoku Sanchi Quasi-National Park — one of the least disturbed mountain landscapes in western Honshu, famous for its dense populations of Japanese black bear and autumn beech forests.
