Pokapoka Onsen Shin Moriyama no Yu is located in the Moriyama ward of Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture. The thermal sodium-chloride water here reaches 40°C, with an indoor bath, outdoor rotenburo and sauna.
Insider tip — 'Pokapoka' (ぽかぽか) is Japanese onomatopoeia for pleasant, spreading warmth — the exact sensation when stepping into a well-heated bath. Shin Moriyama no Yu serves Nagoya's Moriyama ward near the Shinkansen yards, one of Nagoya's largest residential districts; 'pokapoka' also describes the feeling of walking on a mild spring day — both are quintessentially Japanese concepts of gentle, all-encompassing comfort rather than intense heat.
