About this facility
A natural hot-spring bathhouse run by the city of Anan in Tokushima Prefecture, standing at Cape Kamoda, the easternmost point of Shikoku. For 600 yen (adults) you can use the sauna as well: alongside the indoor baths there are outdoor baths overlooking the sea and cape, a waterfall bath, and a warm low-temperature bath. The sauna runs at 90°C, and the open-air area has chairs and benches for a pleasant cool-down with a view, followed by the mizuburo (cold plunge) to fully recover. On the 26th of every month, "Furo no Hi" (Bath Day), admission is half price at 300 yen. The attached Kamoda Cafe serves set meals made with local ingredients, and dining there earns a 100 yen discount.
