About Kyukamura Okunoshima

Kyukamura Okunoshima is a resort hotel in Takehara, Hiroshima. It is the only place to stay on this island in the Seto Inland Sea, and inside are two panoramic baths, one large and one small, drawing on Seto Onsen, a natural radium onsen. The water, a simple weakly radioactive cold mineral spring, contains radon; soft to the touch, it wraps around the body and slowly eases away stiffness. Beyond the windows the islands of the Seto Inland Sea overlap one another, and in the bath on the west side you can soak while watching the sun sink into the sea. Because the baths stay open from early morning until late at night, the luxury of this inn is being able to spend time with the water again and again during your stay: in the quiet of morning, at dusk and for one last soak before bed. Every room faces south with a view of the sea, and day visitors can come to bathe as well.

Hot SpringONSEN

Main bathhouse

The water is a simple weakly radioactive cold mineral spring, a natural radium onsen that contains radon. There are two panoramic baths, one large and one small, each divided into men’s and women’s sides. Soft against the skin with no hard edges, the water leaves a gentle heat that lingers, keeping you warm well after you get out. The larger bath looks out on a tropical-feeling plaza lined with palm trees; the other takes in the islands of the Seto Inland Sea, layer upon layer. In the latter, on the west side, you can soak with the sun setting into the sea straight ahead. Open from early morning until late at night, the baths let you savor, from the water, the light and the moods of the sea as they shift through the day.
