Ichibata Yakushi (Ichibata Temple)
Ichibata Yakushi is located on Mt. Ichibata at an altitude of 200m in Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture. It is the head temple of the Yakushi faith that has continued for more than 1,100 years, and has long been known as the "Medicine Master of the Eyes" and is also known as the Buddha who helps children grow up safely. The divine atmosphere of the approach, surrounded by forest, makes you feel like you have traveled to another world. If you look out over the Shimane Peninsula from the temple grounds, you will feel as if you have stepped into the world of Izumo mythology.
With the recent sauna boom, the number of facilities where you can enjoy saunas in style is increasing. We will introduce recommended sauna facilities, including saunas with spa facilities, private saunas, tent saunas, and facilities where you can enjoy ro-ryu.
All 4 facilities
道の駅 蛍街道西ノ市
"Roadside Station Hotaru Kaido Nishinoichi" is located in Toyota Town, Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, a naturally rich area famous for its fireflies. The station building, designed to resemble a traditional farming village, showcases a real steam locomotive, drawing visitors from across Japan. The station offers day trips to Nishinoichi "Hotaru no Yu" hot spring, a shop selling locally grown vegetables and processed game products, souvenirs, and a Japanese restaurant.
湯や 晴ル音
"Yuya Harune" stands in a corner of Yuno Onsen in Shunan City, Yamaguchi. They have three types of hot spring facilities: private hot springs, saunas, and large communal baths. The theme of the private hot spring is Yakushi Nyorai. "Tsubotsubo" is an open space where you can also take a bath in the outside air, with a bathtub shaped like the medicinal pot held by the Yakushi Nyorai in his left hand. In addition, the word "koukou," which represents a shining white light, is an image of the moonlight bodhisattva standing next to Yakushi Nyorai, and you can enjoy the feeling of bathing in dim moonlight even during the day. The public bath has been renovated while retaining the form of Yunoso, which closed in 2022, so fans of the old days will feel nostalgic.
ほのかの湯 北広島
Located in Kitahiroshima Town and surrounded by the lush nature of the Geihoku area in Hiroshima Prefecture, this natural hot spring facility with 15 private day-use rooms opened in April 2025. Just a five-minute drive from Chiyoda Interchange on the Chugoku Expressway, it welcomes drivers and motorcyclists looking to ease the fatigue of a long journey. Room types include "Standard" and "Semi-Premium," each with indoor and open-air baths and a combined changing and rest area, as well as "Premium," which adds a sauna, cold bath, and massage chair. The private setting allows couples, families, and friends to relax while soaking in mineral-rich cloudy water, abundant in iron and gentle on the skin.
