Oarai Shiosai-no-yu

Two hours by train from Tokyo, a day spa right in front of Oarai Sun Beach. The open-air baths — 'Kuroshio' for men, 'Oyashio' for women — look straight out over the Pacific, and the strong salt water from 1,500 m down keeps you warm long after. There's also a carbonated bath. The panoramic restaurant serves seafood from Oarai port. ¥1,000 on weekdays, 10:00–21:30, open daily. Five minutes by taxi from Oarai Station.

Oarai Yukkura Kenkokan (Town Health & Welfare Center)

A town-run day-trip onsen facility in Minato-Chuo, Oarai, close to the Marine Tower and outlets. It draws Oarai Onsen, a sodium chloride spring at 14.8°C at the source, prized for keeping you warm long after the bath. The large bath lines up five or six tubs - full-body, herbal, jet and bubble baths among them - plus a sauna (there is no open-air bath). The admission fee also covers the heated pool and training room, and there is a restaurant and lounge area. After 17:00 the price drops to 550 yen, with weekly Tuesday coin days and monthly 26th 'bath days' (except August) adding more savings. A 20-minute walk from Oarai Station on the Oarai-Kashima Line, with parking for 130 cars - a handy base for anglerfish hot pot and aquarium visits.
