Misasa Onsen
三朝温泉
A hot spring resort with rare, highly concentrated radon springs. It has a free mixed-gender open-air riverside bath, and the old town's arcade still has retro shooting-game shops.
Misasa Onsen has a history of about 850 years. It is known for its rare, highly concentrated radon (radium) springs, and it is said that inhaling the steam boosts immunity. The name "Misasa" is said to mean "cured after three mornings of bathing". Beneath Misasa Bridge over the Misasa River is the free open-air mixed bath known as the Kawara Furo. It has no screens, so only the bold should try it. The resort also has a drinking spring, retro shooting-game arcades and the Kabuyu public bath. Day-use bathing costs about 300 to 1000 yen. It is about 8 kilometres from Mount Mitoku and about 20 minutes by bus from Kurayoshi Station.
