The large public bath is also equipped with an authentic dry sauna and a refreshing cold plunge bath, allowing you to enjoy an exceptional totonou time while gazing at the beautiful nighttime harbor scenery.

Hot Spring & Bath Information

Large Public Bath

TypeNatural Hot Spring

A large public bath and open-air bath that make generous use of Kesennuma Onsen, a highly concentrated deep natural hot spring that gushes from 1,800 m underground. With a salt concentration about the same as seawater, it is briny like the sea, and you can enjoy the unique floating bath, known as "floating bathing (Pukapuka Onsen)," while your body gently drifts. The salt wraps around the skin and provides excellent heat retention, so you stay warm long after getting out. From this hilltop setting, you can enjoy an exceptional hot spring bath while watching fishing boats coming and going and the beautiful nighttime view over Kesennuma Bay.
