About this facility
Just a 3-minute walk from JR Aoshima Station, the Aoshima Fisherman's Beachside Hostel & Spa features the natural hot spring "Shinwa no Yu" (Bath of Myth). Enjoy a natural-wood sauna, a gentle mizuburo (cold plunge) fed by spring water of about 25-32°C, and open-air bathing where you can hear the sound of the waves. The water is an alkaline simple sulfur cold mineral spring, long valued as a "beauty bath" for the skin. Another highlight is a mural of Mount Fuji by Japanese-style painter Shuhei Tateyama. Adults 550 yen, sauna mats provided—a seaside spot easy to reach even without a car.
