A bath walk through a 33,000 m² garden
Yuami-no-Shima is a day-trip spa inside Nagashima Resort. What sets it apart is that its baths are scattered across a garden of some 33,000 m²: you walk from one bath to the next through the greenery. The trees were not cultivated on site but moved in from mountains, and natural rock is used throughout, so the scenery goes well beyond a conventional open-air bath. Mitsui Outlet Park Jazz Dreams Nagashima is right next door, so shopping and bathing fit into the same day.
Seventeen baths, and a free-flowing rock bath
The water is an alkaline simple spring at pH 8.5 and about 60 °C at source, with some 10,000 tonnes flowing daily: clear, odourless and mild on the skin. Seventeen baths are laid out, eight in the men's Kurobe Gorge bath modelled on Toyama's Kurobe Gorge and nine in the women's Oirase Stream bath modelled on Aomori's Oirase Stream. The men's and women's sides swap in October and November, so a return visit in another season covers both. The great rock bath runs entirely on free-flowing source water, and there is also a carbonated bath, a jacuzzi and a waterfall bath.
Getting the timing and the price right
The price changes by time of day: ¥2,500 for adults during standard hours (open to 14:59), ¥1,900 with the 15:00 discount (15:00–18:59) and ¥1,400 with the 19:00 discount (from 19:00). Discount tickets are sold only at the front desk. The spa runs 9:30–21:00 on weekdays and until 23:00 on weekends and holidays, with bathing from 10:00 and last entry at 20:00 and 22:00 respectively. Face and bath towels are provided and the yukata is free until 15:00; bedrock bathing is ¥2,700 as a set ticket or ¥800 added after entry. Note that tattoos of any kind are refused, stickers and paint included, and re-entry is not allowed.
