Enjoy the Magical Beautifying Water in their Public Bath
Tamatsukuri Onsen in Shimane Prefecture was discovered during the Nara period and is also known as the "hot spring of the gods." Hotel Gyokusen, a hotel with a spacious bathing facility covering a total area of about 1,050 square meters, enables guests to unwind and leisurely experience the hot springs.

Visitors can opt to use the private baths for a fee, indulging in a secluded moment in the "Hakucho" and "Kuromatsu" baths, named after the prefecture's bird and tree, respectively.
