Yuhaku Onsen (Kenkomura) is located in Okayama, in the prefecture of the same name in western Japan. Its thermal sodium-chloride water reaches 40°C, complemented by an indoor bath, outdoor rotenburo and sauna.
Insider tip — Yuhaku (湯泊 — leisurely hot spring sojourn) Onsen 'Kenkomura' (health village) is north of Okayama — Japan's 'land of sunshine,' famous for Korakuen Garden (one of the three great traditional gardens of Japan), the jet-black Crow Castle (Okayama-jo, one of Japan's most striking), and Kibi plain cycling routes through ancient burial mounds. Bizen ware pottery (Japan's oldest unglazed ceramic tradition) and Okayama's 'fruit kingdom' of peaches, grapes and white peaches complete the picture.
