Shimonoseki Onsen

Shimonoseki Onsen, nestled in the westernmost city of Japan’s main island, serves as a hidden gem for those partial to hot springs. Here, the serene Yamaguchi Prefecture provides a fitting backdrop for this onsen area, where rich, mineral-infused waters are sourced from deep within the earth. The onsen’s unique selling point is its kakenagashi style baths, where the water is constantly flowing directly from the hot spring source, offering a truly authentic experience.

While Shimonoseki Onsen itself is an oasis of tranquility, the surrounding city offers an exciting mix of cultural and gastronomical delights. From the famous fugu (pufferfish) cuisine to the historic Kanmon Straits, there is a wealth of experiences to explore in this charming corner of Japan. Visitors can indulge in the dual pleasure of immersing themselves in the therapeutic baths and then venturing out to soak up the local culture and cuisine.
