Nagayu · Kyushu

50°CMixed Bathing

A small mountain hot spring village in Taketa City, central Oita Prefecture, celebrated for the highest concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide of any thermal spring in Japan. When you lower yourself into the water here, fine bubbles immediately begin forming across your skin. This carbonation is the defining experience. The town has a sister-city relationship with Bad Krozingen in Germany, a spa town with a comparable therapeutic tradition.
