The First Bedrock Bath in Fukushima!

This unique bedrock bath is made from Sobo-seikouseki, a special type of holystone.

After changing into a yukata and sipping some water, we were ready to begin. The room was filled with the soothing aroma of the forest. We spread our towels on the warm bedrock and simply lay down.

Start by lying on your stomach for the first 5 minutes, then switch to your back for 10 minutes. Sweat comes quickly—but it’s never stifling. After each session, head to the lounge, drink some water, and repeat the routine a few times.

Once we finished and showered off, we felt wonderfully warm and refreshed. Our cheeks were silky smooth and even felt a little lifted! For the full experience, we recommend combining it with a soak in the large public bath.

Regular visitors range from children to the elderly, proving that this authentic onsen has a special charm that keeps people coming back again and again.

The onsen is located near Uneme Street, tucked away in a quiet residential area—perfect for a relaxing and peaceful visit.

Luxurious Hot Spring at a Reasonable Price

Located just a few minutes from Culture Park on Naganuma Road, this charming onsen offers a natural hot spring that flows directly from the source (kakenagashi).

On a beautiful day, we highly recommend the outdoor bath (rotenburo). Step outside, feel the crisp air on your warmed body, and soak in a serene atmosphere—it’s like a little piece of heaven. Stones line the bottom of the tub, gently massaging your feet and easing stiffness, leaving your skin smooth and refreshed while you listen to the soothing sounds of the breeze.

The water here is a simple alkaline spring, gentle yet rejuvenating. Nearby, you’ll also find a golf driving range and a beer garden. For longer visits, the onsen offers overnight stays and banquet plans, so you can pick the experience that suits you best.

Koriyama was once a wagon station town, giving this onsen a welcoming, judgment-free atmosphere—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the healing power of the springs.

Onsen Hopping in Koriyama – A Variety of Baths to Enjoy

Head straight south on Ataka-dori (Kendo #6 line) from Koriyama City. After passing through the Tohoku Expressway, look for the signboard saying “Turn Right & Large Parking”—this will be your landmark.

Here, you can enjoy a wide range of baths: large public baths, outdoor baths, neyu (lie-down baths), utase-yu (open-air waterfalls), and an infrared sauna. ♩ Imagine soaking in an outdoor bath on a crisp autumn day—the panoramic views from the large public bath create an incredible sense of spaciousness.

Even though it’s 100% natural hot spring water, the fees are very reasonable. Don’t forget to try the delicious treats! The “Matsukado Bento” lunch boxes feature fresh, seasonal vegetables grown with care by the staff.

Whether you prefer a banquet, an overnight stay, or a day-use onsen, there’s an option to suit your perfect relaxing day.

We couldn’t agree more with the regulars who say, “Hotter isn’t always better!”The great thing about this sauna is that it’s comfortably warm without being overwhelming, so your body stays pleasantly heated even after stepping outside. ♩
