- Hours and closure
- Open 10:00-23:00, last entry 22:30, closing on the third Wednesday of each month. Its late hours make it an easy way to end a day spent at Tojinbo or in the town of Mikuni.
- The spring
- The source is Mikuni Onsen No.1, a sodium-calcium chloride-sulphate spring (hypotonic, weakly alkaline, high-temperature). It carries salt close to that of seawater, so the salt left on the skin slows evaporation and the water is held to help with cold extremities, neuralgia and minor cuts. It is neither diluted nor heated, and is kept clean by circulation, filtration and disinfection.
- The baths
- The two main baths, Kamome-no-Yu and Minato-no-Yu, are panoramic and each has a sauna, a cold plunge and a shower room. Kamome-no-Yu faces Mikuni Sunset Beach and the evening sun, while Minato-no-Yu looks out over the Kuzuryu river and the Japan Sea.
- Good to know
- Visitors with tattoos, those who are heavily intoxicated and anyone with a skin condition are refused entry. Children 120cm or taller, or aged 10 and over, may not share the bath with a parent of the other gender. In July and August you may enter wearing swimwear. Rinse-in shampoo and body soap are provided; bath towels, hand towels and cleansers are sold, and the restaurant can be used without bathing. Outside food and drink are not allowed.
- Getting there
- It is a five-minute walk from Mikuni-minato Station on the Echizen Railway Mikuni-Awara line. By car it is about 25 minutes from the Kanazu interchange on the Hokuriku Expressway, aiming for Mikuni Sunset Beach.

A day-use onsen above Mikuni Sunset Beach
Tojinbo Mikuni Onsen Yuaport is a day-use onsen in Mikuni-cho, Sakai, Fukui, beside Mikuni Sunset Beach. It is an easy five-minute walk from Mikuni-minato Station on the Echizen Railway, and with a restaurant on site bathing and a meal can be combined. At 500 yen for adults it is affordable, and it stays open from 10 in the morning until 11 at night.
Two panoramic baths
There is a main bath for each gender, called Kamome-no-Yu and Minato-no-Yu. From its broad windows Kamome-no-Yu looks on the sun sinking over Mikuni Sunset Beach, while Minato-no-Yu takes in the Kuzuryu river running out to the Japan Sea. Both have a sauna, a cold plunge and a shower room, and the chance to enjoy sea and river views from the water is the appeal of this place.
