Spa & Resort Inubōsaki Taiyō-no-Sato Ichibō-no-yu
スパ＆リゾート犬吠埼 太陽の里 一望の湯
A big spa resort on the cliffs of Cape Inubō, the first place on Honshū to see the New Year sunrise. The panoramic 'Ichibō-no-yu' main bath sweeps 180 degrees across the Pacific, and with the open-air bath, bedrock-bath rooms and sauna you can watch the sun climb out of the horizon or gaze at Inubōsaki lighthouse while soaking. The water is the sodium-chloride Byōbugaura spring. Adults ¥1,500 on weekdays, ¥1,700 on weekends, holidays and high season (cheaper for morning baths and after 17:00); open 10:00–23:00 (last entry 22:00), and on Saturdays you can stay through to 08:00 the next morning; open every day. Restaurants, banquet rooms, relaxation treatments and an ocean terrace make it a full-day stop to pair with the Chōshi Electric Railway, wet rice crackers and seafood. About 10 minutes on foot from Inubō Station; about an hour by car from Itako IC.

More in this area
Yoro Valley Goriyaku-no-yu
A day-use-only onsen on the Otaki side of Yoro Valley on the Boso Peninsula, near Awamata Falls. A rotenburo looking over wooded hills and a timber indoor bath hold the dark-tinted alkaline water typical of Boso. Popular after hikes and waterfall walks; towel and robe rental mean you can come empty-handed. Closes early at 18:00; Wednesdays off.
Kameyama Onsen Hotel
About 70 minutes from central Tokyo via the Aqua-Line, a hot-spring inn founded in 1950 on the shore of Lake Kameyama in the Boso hills. Its chocolate-brown 'kuroyu' bicarbonate water — billed as Boso's finest beauty bath — flows freely into a large bath with lake and forest views. Day use 11:30–18:00, ¥1,000 on weekdays; no day bathing Thursdays and Fridays. In autumn pair it with a foliage cruise on the lake.
Spa & Resort Kujūkuri Taiyō no Sato
One of the Bōsō peninsula's largest spa resorts, in Shirako on Kujūkuri Beach. Soak in iodine-rich, tea-coloured Chōsei spring water in the open-air bath, with seven rock-bath rooms, saunas, nap lounges, banquet halls and lodging on site. Open straight through from 10:00 to 08:00 the next morning; stays past 01:00 incur a late surcharge. Free shuttle from JR Mobara Station (reservation required). ¥1,600 weekdays, ¥1,900 weekends. Tattoos—including stickers and paint—are strictly refused.
