As you soak in the warm, mineral-rich bath, the rhythmic sound of the waves and the panoramic sunset over the sea create a melodic harmony that effortlessly soothes the soul. Within walking distance, you’ll find quaint eateries serving local delicacies and traditional Japanese inns (ryokan) that boast their own private hot spring baths.
