Tokushima Mima City
An open-air bath overlooking the Anabuki River, Shikoku's clearest stream, and a beauty skin bath that brings moisture to your skin
"Blue Villa Anabuki" is a hot spring inn standing on the banks of the clear Anabuki River in Mima, Tokushima Prefecture. In the open-air bath overlooking the Anabuki River, famed as Japan's clearest stream, guests can enjoy the natural hot spring known as the "beauty skin bath," rich in sodium and known for leaving the skin smooth and silky. The large public bath is equipped with a sauna, a cold plunge bath, jet baths, bubble baths, waterfall showers, and medicinal baths, offering a wide variety of bathing options. Cottages surrounded by beautiful, nature-rich valleys and well-appointed lodging facilities are also available.
This natural hot spring open-air bath is rich in sodium and characterized by its silky, smooth texture. Highly regarded as a weakly alkaline "beauty skin bath," it deeply moisturizes rough skin and leaves it astonishingly smooth and silky after bathing. You can enjoy a first-class bath while taking in the clear murmuring of the Anabuki River and the beautiful mountain scenery that changes with each season.
A high-temperature dry sauna located inside the large public bath, filled with the comforting aroma of warm wood. The air circulation inside is excellent, and the moderately humid environment gently warms your body all the way to the core. While watching TV, you can gaze out at the rich nature of the Anabuki River beyond the window and spend a peaceful moment sweating deeply and pleasantly.
[Day-use bathing] 09:00–22:30 (last admission 22:00, closed on the 1st Wednesday of every month)

A compact cold plunge bath installed right next to the sauna room. It is filled with high-quality, refreshing cold water that gently firms your heated body after the sauna and quickly cools you down.
