Hai-fu

An island getaway where you can luxuriate in an Asian resort with open-air onsen baths in every room and a sauna at the main building

Mie Shima City

Hai-fu is an Asian resort-style onsen ryokan on Watakano Island in Shima City, Mie Prefecture. Every guest room comes with a private open-air bath overlooking Matoya Bay, allowing you to enjoy the property's own Isobe Watakano Onsen anytime in complete privacy. Guests can also use the expansive garden open-air bath at the adjacent main building, Fukujuso, which features a compact but authentic dry sauna with the aroma of wood, a cold plunge bath, and an outdoor bathing area where you can listen to the sound of the waves. It is the perfect hideaway for an indulgent, quiet escape for adults who want to do nothing at all.

Hot Spring & Bath Information

Isobe Watakano Onsen

TypeNatural Hot Spring

The property's own Isobe Watakano Onsen can be enjoyed in the open-air baths of all rooms at Hai-fu, as well as in the large bath and garden open-air bath at the adjacent main building, Fukujuso. This chloride spring that rises from beneath the sea is officially designated as a therapeutic spring, reflecting its exceptional quality. Because the salt forms a film on the skin and prevents heat from escaping, it has excellent warming effects and is effective for sensitivity to cold and joint pain. It is popular for both bathing and drinking.

A compact cold bath in the large bath area of Fukujuso, featuring an atmospheric wooden tub. Though it is a small, one-person size, the crisply chilled water firmly cools the body after sauna use and tightens up your overheated skin.
