Shichikama Onsen Yūraku-kan

Shichikama Onsen Yūraku-kan is a day-use hot spring facility in Hyogo Prefecture with outdoor pools fed by natural mineral water sourced from underground springs. The grounds sit within a forested mountain setting where bathers can enjoy the pools while surrounded by trees and hillsides.

This facility marks the location of the first hot spring discovered in the Hamasaka Onsen district, making it historically important to the region's bathing culture. The spring's discovery opened the area to development as a wellness destination.

The facility respects traditional Japanese bathing customs with distinct areas for each gender. Visitors appreciate the opportunity to bathe in waters valued for their natural mineral composition and perceived healing qualities.

The facility operates daily from morning until late evening, giving visitors flexible timing for a visit. Wear comfortable shoes for walking around the grounds and bring a towel or rent one on site, as is typical at these facilities.

The water draws from a spring first identified in this district, making it geologically distinct from other hot springs in the region. This first-discovered source remains a point of local pride and historical significance.
