絲綢溫泉

Silk Onsen is a thermal spa in Toyooka where mineral-rich waters contain high concentrations of sodium and calcium chloride. The facility offers separate bathing areas for men and women with both indoor and outdoor pools available year-round.

Local residents first discovered the thermal springs in this region during the 8th century and recognized their healing properties. This long tradition of use has persisted and continues to shape how the community values thermal bathing.

The name references the silk industry that once defined this region's economy and identity. Today, visitors sense this heritage woven into how locals relate to their thermal waters and community.

The pools are accessible year-round and typically open early in the morning. Visitors should expect traditional bathing conventions such as thorough cleansing before entering the communal baths.

Specialized barrel baths allow small groups to experience the mineral waters in a more private setting. These smaller pools offer a less formal atmosphere compared to the larger communal baths.
