Shizuoka Shizuoka City
Breathtaking open-air baths overlooking Mt. Fuji and the fishing harbor, plus a luxurious natural groundwater cold plunge bath from the Abe River
"Mochimune Minato Onsen" is a day-use natural hot spring facility located at Mochimune Fishing Port in Shizuoka City. From the open-air bath, you can look out over Mt. Fuji and fishing boats passing through the harbor, and enjoy a blissful moment with a pleasant sea breeze. The sauna is a medium-temperature room designed to warm you deeply from the core with far-infrared heat. A special highlight is the cold plunge bath, which uses natural groundwater from the Abe River, also used in craft beer brewing; its mellow feel against the skin is exceptional. The building also houses a craft beer brewery.
A sodium-calcium chloride spring that gushes from 1,000 m underground on the property. With a mildly alkaline pH of 8.3, it combines cleansing effects that help remove old dead skin cells with excellent warming and moisturizing benefits, making it a beauty-enhancing bath. The open-air bath uses 100% natural hot spring water, allowing you to warm your body to the core while enjoying views of the charming fishing harbor scenery and Mt. Fuji.
A sauna room where far-infrared heat penetrates deep into the body and promotes efficient sweating. It reduces the stuffiness often associated with high-temperature saunas, allowing you to sweat slowly and comfortably in a relaxed state. Wrapped in the clean scent of wood, you can enjoy a meditative sauna time together with the tranquil atmosphere of this port town.
A cold plunge bath lavishly filled with high-quality natural groundwater from the Abe River, also used as brewing water for craft beer. The water, kept at around 15°C, is astonishingly smooth, with a soft, skin-adhering texture that is its defining feature. This superb facility gently yet thoroughly soothes post-sauna heat, letting you experience the blessings of water that are uniquely Shizuoka.
