Large public bath
"Hiuchinada Onsen," fed by Mototani Onsen, one of Iyo's Three Famous Hot Springs alongside Dogo and Nibukawa. Its alkaline waters, a hypotonic alkaline cold mineral spring, have long been loved as a beauty bath and gently wrap the skin in a smooth finish. From the indoor bath behind the large glass windows, the Seto Inland Sea stretches out in full view, while Mount Ishizuchi appears faint in the distance. The open-air baths differ for men and women: the men's side overlooks the Ishizuchi mountain range and the Kawaratsu coast below, while the women's side looks out over the islands floating in the Seto Inland Sea. It is said to be effective for joint pain, neuralgia, and recovery from fatigue, and an early-morning soak while gazing at the many islands is especially delightful.
