Kagawa · Shionoe Onsen

Livemax Resort Sanuki Shionoe Onsen (former Sanuki Onsen)

リブマックスリゾート讃岐塩江温泉(旧 さぬき温泉)

A lone inn in the hills of Shionoe, Takamatsu's traditional retreat and one of only two nationally designated therapeutic hot-spring areas on Shikoku. Its own pH 8.4 bicarbonate spring feeds a rotenburo above the stream, an indoor bath and a sauna, with a large free rest room. Day use in two sessions — 6:00–11:00 and 15:00–22:00 — for ¥700. Just 20 minutes by car from Takamatsu Airport, so handy before a flight.
