Tokushima Miyoshi City

"Hotel Iya Onsen" is an inn with a hot spring located in Iya Valley, one of Japan's three most remote and secluded places, in Ikeda Town, Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture. Its greatest attraction is the open-air bath at the bottom of the valley, reached by a private cable car descending a 42-degree cliff, where you can fully enjoy the abundant natural spring water with free-flowing hot spring water straight from the source. The large public bath is a scenic bath overlooking the panoramic beauty of Iya Valley, where you can relax in the silky, alkaline waters known for beautifying the skin while spending an extraordinary moment of silence and luxury.
