Kisuke Box is a commercial entertainment complex located directly in front of Matsuyama Station in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture on Shikoku Island, offering under one roof a remarkable combination of bowling, karaoke, mahjong, lodging, an indoor theme park, and a natural thermal onsen facility. The complex opened in 2001 after the Homerun Group's Kisuke brand discovered a natural hot spring during excavation of its existing pachinko and bowling premises, creating an unexpected opportunity to integrate authentic geothermal bathing culture into an urban entertainment venue. The natural onsen at Kisuke Box gives city visitors and tourists passing through Matsuyama convenient access to genuine hot spring bathing within the heart of Shikoku's largest city, blending traditional Japanese onsen culture with contemporary leisure.

Insider tip — Kisuke Box in the Imabari region of Ehime lies near the famous Shimanami Kaido — the spectacular cycling route that island-hops across the Seto Inland Sea on a chain of suspension bridges, one of the world's great cycling experiences. The bathing facility serves a region famous for Imabari towels (Japan's finest) and the beautiful island seascapes of the Inland Sea, where the warm waters offer relaxation in a landscape of bridges, islands, and the gentle climate of Shikoku's northern coast.
