Ikema Onsen sits on Ikema Island, part of Miyakojima in the Okinawa archipelago. Its thermal water reaches 40°C, with an indoor bath, outdoor rotenburo and sauna on site.

Insider tip — Ikema Island (3.5 km²) is connected to Miyakojima by a 1,425m causeway across waters of extraordinary clarity — some of the finest coral reef snorkeling in Japan surrounds this tiny island. Miyako Archipelago has Japan's most crystalline emerald waters: Yonaha Maehama Beach is consistently rated Japan's finest beach. Ikema Onsen provides a warm mineral soak after exploring reefs where manta rays gather seasonally; a tropical island hot spring is a genuinely rare combination.
