Misasa Onsen Misasakan is an onsen inn in Misasa, Tohaku District, Tottori Prefecture. It has three sources of its own on the grounds, so guests can enjoy the celebrated waters of Misasa Onsen, whose radon content is among the highest in the world, fed straight from its own source, never recirculated. The vast Japanese garden baths, covering some 1,000 tsubo (about 3,300 m² (35,500 sq ft)), are made up of two main bathhouses: Niwa-no-Yu, wrapped in a tranquil garden, and Taki-no-Yu, set around a waterfall of source water. Their many different baths let you take in the scenery of each season. There is also a private open-air bath and rooms with their own onsen bath, so you can bathe in complete privacy. With meals built around fresh local produce and calm, Japanese-style interiors, the inn promises an exceptional stay that deeply restores body and mind.
