Kanagawa Yokosuka City
A seaside spa with sweeping views of Tokyo Bay and natural onsen fed straight from the source
Yokosuka Onsen Yura no Sato is a day-use onsen bathhouse in Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture. Its greatest draw is its open setting, with Tokyo Bay spread out right in front of you. You soak in the natural onsen, fed straight from the source and never recirculated, with the sea breeze on your skin; the water holds heat so well that it is also known as Netsu-no-Yu, “the bath of heat.” A high-temperature sauna uses far-infrared heat to draw sweat from deep within, and a salt sauna leaves the skin smooth. The flow from the sauna to the cold plunge and then to cooling off in the open air in the salt breeze brings the finest relaxation. A wide range of warm-stone rooms and a dedicated terrace looking out to sea complete the place, so you can spend the whole day refreshing body and mind with the sea always close.

Set in a prime spot overlooking Tokyo Bay, the main bathhouse offers a strongly saline chloride spring that rises from deep underground. So rich in salt that it tastes salty on the tongue, the water keeps you from cooling down after bathing and retains heat exceptionally well. The open-air area has one bath fed straight from the source, never recirculated, and another with views that make you feel at one with the sea. The indoor baths include a strongly carbonated bath that promotes blood flow, among others, so you can enjoy the spectacular views and make your way around a variety of baths at the same time.

A high-temperature sauna where far-infrared heat warms you thoroughly to the core and brings on a pleasant sweat. Dry heat fills the room, and in the quiet you can sit with the heat and turn inward at your own pace. In the spacious room the fatigue of daily life and impurities flow out with your sweat, leaving you feeling clean and refreshed. The way from the sauna to the cold plunge is smooth, making it an ideal setting for crisp alternating hot and cold bathing.

A salt sauna where you warm up while gently caring for your skin with the massage salt always on hand. Rubbing the salt into your body as you slowly work up a sweat removes dead skin cells and impurities, and after bathing your skin feels astonishingly smooth. With a milder quality of heat than the high-temperature sauna, it is an ideal, soothing space for when you want to relax slowly while keeping the strain on your body low.

A cold plunge set right beside the sauna that cools your flushed body refreshingly. Cool yourself gradually from the hands and feet, then immerse your whole body, and a pleasant chill wraps around you as the cold pulls the body taut. Once the heat has fully settled, cooling off in the open air awaits in the outdoor area where the sea breeze blows through. With the sound of the waves in the distance, you can sink into deep relaxation, as if melting into the sea and sky.

A vast warm-stone area with a wide range of experiences: a room where nano-mist spreads like a sea of clouds, löyly sessions where waves of heat sweep through, and a space that soothes with the power of rock salt. Men and women can use it together in the dedicated wear, and the gently spreading far-infrared heat lets you sweat without strain. With the Ryoreido cooling room, a dedicated terrace looking out to sea and a reclining room with unlimited manga, you can lose track of time and enjoy detoxing to your heart’s content.
