Miura Mahoroba Onsen takes its evocative name from the ancient Japanese word mahoroba, a classical poetic term meaning a blessed, ideal land of natural beauty and peace, suggesting that the setting and spirit of this thermal spring embody the qualities of a place worthy of that highest classical designation. The spring's thermal waters provide restorative warmth in a landscape that has earned the mahoroba designation through its natural beauty and the sense of sheltered serenity that the Miura peninsula and its surroundings have conveyed to visitors and poets for many centuries. This onsen invites guests to discover the deep, layered sense of belonging and natural harmony that the concept of mahoroba brings to the art of thermal bathing, where the landscape, the water, and the experience of immersion become indistinguishable from one another.

Insider tip — Miura Mahoroba Onsen sits at the tip of the Miura Peninsula in Kanagawa, surrounded by the sea where Tokyo Bay meets Sagami Bay — a region famous for its daikon radishes, tuna fishing port at Misaki, and views across to the Bōsō Peninsula and Mount Fuji. The sodium-chloride coastal springs serve a peninsula of fishing villages and seaside scenery within easy reach of Tokyo, where the warm saline waters and fresh tuna combine the pleasures of a classic Japanese coastal getaway.
