Kagawa Mitoyo City
An outdoor rock bath overlooking the Sanuki Mountains, and a gentle löyly sauna created by Koka-seki
"Michi-no-Eki Fureai Park Mino" is a hot spring facility in Mitoyo City, Kagawa Prefecture. The sauna, which uses Finnish Koka-seki, offers a gentle, steamy heat that feels pleasant and lets even beginners relax and work up a comfortable sweat. The alkaline simple hot spring water that bubbles up from underground is gentle on the skin, and the outdoor rock bath offers an open, relaxing experience. As part of a roadside station complex, it also includes lodging, dining, a heated pool, and more, making it a well-rounded facility.
An alkaline simple hot spring that springs up from underground. It is characterized by its mellow water texture, which contains metasilicic acid, and is expected to help smooth and soften the skin. In addition to the spacious indoor bath, the outdoor rock bath is a highlight. You can relax both body and mind while moving from one variety of bath to another, including jet baths and medicinal baths.
A full-fledged sauna that uses Finnish Koka-seki on the stove. When water droplets fall onto the stones, the resulting steam fills the room with a moderate level of humidity and gentle heat. It is less irritating to the skin and easier to breathe in, so you can warm up slowly and deeply from within. In the quiet room, you can face the heat and enjoy a comfortable sweating experience.
A refreshing cold plunge bath installed inside the large public bath. It sharply cools down a body heated by the sauna and provides an invigorating sense of refreshment. The deep tub lets you submerge your body securely, cooling the whole body efficiently. The flow from the indoor bath to the outdoor air-bathing space is smooth, so it does not disrupt the path to totonou.

Most of what we surveyed never even made it onto this site. This book is a further cut from what did. Our editor bathed in every onsen and sauna in it, and wrote only what they confirmed on the ground.
